    My girlfriend and her parents.
    Okay, so... My girlfreind and I were together for about 3 months. I really liked her and I still do very much. Well we had a plan to get through high school then about half way through college get married. That was our goal and our motivation. But, recently her parents texted me saying that she wasn't allowed to date and they wanted me to break up with her. So, I just responded "Okay, I get it and I respect that. I'm sorry." Then they said stuff like that they appreciated my honesty and that they aren't saying she's not allowed to have friends, but anymore than that isn't allowed, for now. And that they thanked me for my respect. I had the most sickest feeling in my stomach. I know I have to follow their rules and all, but I still love her. Then later on I got a text from my "ex- grirlfriend" and she said she did want to be with me, but she felt she needed to keep school as her first priority and she wanted to obey her parents. Which I sort of understand. But, I can never get her out of my head and I know I love her. What should I do now? 4 years is a long time and a lot can happen.

    Dating 3 months while in HS is not long enough to start making marriage plans. That may be why her parents want you to back off.

    They like me, but that's not my point.

    Didn't say they didn't like you. But you are in HS so you are around 16-17. If my daughter started talking about marriage to a boy she had only been dating for 3 months at that age, I would be concerned too.

    There is really nothing you can do, though you have done the right things so far.

    Just be friends like her parents suggested, and see what happens. You are right, a lot can happen in the next few years and no guarantees.
