I'm a grown woman but my parents have banned my boyfriend from the house

I was in a relationship with my ex from my early twenties to last year but never wanted sex with him. I told Mum and she said sex is wrong before marriage anyway.

I got with my new boyfriend and our relationship is everything I want, including wonderful sex. He is 46 and divorced. He wants me to move in with him.

My parents are nearly 60 and very old-fashioned. I told them about my boyfriend and they said some really nasty things about him. And they said they will disown me if I continue seeing him.

They reckon I should respect their wishes and said that if my dad has a heart attack, it will be my fault.

My boyfriend wants me to leave my parents’ home and move in with him. I just want my parents to accept it.

DEIDRE SAYS: You can’t make your parents accept it but you can be firm that you have the right to make your own decisions.

Your relationship is what you want, so why not move in with him? My e-leaflet Standing Up For Yourself will help you be calm but clear with your parents.
