    Help me please a.s.a.p - pretend to break up
    OK, I am in a steady relationshio with my 18 year old boyfriend. I am 16. And at first my mum was fine with us at first. But then she made us split up because he lives in a council house, and I live in my mums own house. I think you get the jist, she is kind of snobby. But he makes me happy. So I pretended that I split up with him and I told her a coupe of months later, and she went crazy. So I did the same thing and thought I would wait until I'm 18 to tell her. I no she wants the best for me but at the end of the day we love each other and we have been together for a year and 4 months, and I don't no how to tell her. Because if I wait until I'm 18 it will harder I think, and also I don't want to have to go behind her back and lie to her every time I see my boyfriend.

    He works, he has a job so he has money coming in all the time. I love him and he loves me, I just don't understand why my mum doesn't like him because he doesn't live in a big house, and isn't rich and not amazingly clever. He makes me happy and I do well for myself as I'm in a dance school now and it is not as if he is stopping me from doing well at school - I passed 10 GCSEs all with Bs so he isn't stopping me there. I don't understand why I can't make the decision of who my boyfriends are. My mum says I should go out with someone like "price harry" you know rich, clever and has a good job. But it isn't about money at the end of the day is it? I no she wants the best for me but my boyfriend is experience too as well as a loving relationship, but my mum is pushing us together if you understand. And I don't want to fall more in love with him because of my mum not knowing. If she knew and accepted him, we mite break up in 6 months! (not that id want to obviously) what's your advice? Please help

    Also how do I break it to her that I am with him still after all this time. Because I'm really scared to tell her that I am still with him and that I'm sorry for keeping it from her because I was scared what she mite do and, you know, its my life and I should decide who I'm with.?

    I would tell her as the longer it goes on the harder it is. Also if she "goes off on one" - as I call it - just say that you love this bloke he loves you and you are in a steady relationship and she is your mother and should respect your choises even if she doesn't agree with them. Also explain to her that love isn't all about money and what grades you got in your exams its about happieness and love
    Good Luck

    I know a couple that is going through the same thing, they too are two years apart one still in school and one in the army. Anyway, you sound very intelligent and mature, my recommendation to you is that you go to your mother and tell her that you need to talk. You must stand up for yourself and don't tell her how its going to be and give her an ultimatum, but rather you should explain how you feel and tell her that it's your life and it's a decision that must be made by you. And that you hope that she will consent with your relationship and not to try and stand in your way because it will be frivolous because this is something that you believe in, and if she doesn't agree tell her that it is your decision and yours alone and that you still will love her but you must do this for yourself.
