Mother forcing us to break up
Entire story merged
Hello there. So here's my/our problem:
I'm 17, 18 in August.
She's 15, 16 in September.
I'm going off to college next year, albeit only an hour away.
We've been together for nearly 8 months, and I can honestly say we're in love.
We've fallen asleep on the phone together every night since last November.
Prom is in a couple days, and we're going together, etc.
Sounds pretty good, right?
Well today her mom told her that we have to end our relationship before I go off to college, or else she's going to force us to break up. She said she doesn't want her to get hurt by me changing or something while I'm at college. That is a slightly valid reason, but I'm not really the person to change myself to fit in, and a bunch of my friends are going to the same college as me.
How can we convince her mom to not force this upon us? Any INTELLIGENT thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
