My girlfriend of almost two years has little problem she is really afraid of her parents. Now I do not mean the if we get caught doing this we are dead scared because I am like that too, but she is afraid to ask her mom mostly for anything,dad just says go ask mom, during our relationship she has been afraid to hold my hand sit by me and give me a hug in front of her parents. Kissing and all that is not a problem I am a gentleman and do not like having an audience watch me do my thing. So my question. Is this normal? I mean I used to be like her to ask for anything but I realize that they really did not care but with her parents I feel like she is in a prison I tell her to gain a little courage for things she needs, I lent her 40 dollars for her horse because she was afraid her parents would sell the horse for not taking care of it She also wants to work in a tax paying job but because of band and her duties at a ranch where she works at teaching lessons and making 15 to 30 buck a lesson and now with school underway she is going to be more trapped. Her parents explain it by saying that if she gets freedom then she might end up pregnant and jobless or stuff like that. So what do you guys think?
