Boss Of Me - BOM411
 
My boyfriend and I are having issues and I have decided to break up with him. He cheated on me, so he should see this coming. But it's around the holidays and my family is excepting him to show up to all the gatherings. They even bought him presents. What should I do? Should I break up with him now, to save all the drama? Or should I stay with him to avoid the question of where's your boyfriend at?
 
 
I have this new guy I've been dating for some time now. He has met my mother and now I feel like she thinks his the one for me. She wants me to marry him, she has already planned the wedding. But I’m starting to realize that I don’t like him as much anymore, it’s moving a little too fast for me. I think we should get to know one another more, but I kind just want to break up with him. My mom is a little to controlling of the relationship. What should I do? Or how do I tell my mom that I want to explore this relationship without her?
 
 
My parents are a bit strict and they don't really let me date. I've been going out with this boy for two weeks now and he just asked me to be his girlfriend. I want to say yes, but I'm scared of what my parents are going to say. Should I ask for their permission? Or just tell them I have a boyfriend and they should accept it.
 
 
My girlfriend has been telling me I need to get a job since I’m 18 and my parents want me to wait on a job and focus on my education.  I have a job interview and I haven’t told either of them about it because it is scheduled during my school hours and my parents would be upset. I really want to please my parents and my girlfriend but I’m confused. They would be very upset for cutting school and my girlfriend would be complaining for turning down a job interview. Who should I please?
 
 
My girlfriend’s parents really don’t like me and I don’t want to be disrespectful to her family or start family drama between them but I really want to be with her. How can we make it work?
 
 
I’ve been with my boyfriend for awhile now and he still hasn’t introduced me to any of his friends or family. I’m starting to feel like he’s keeping me a secret. What should I do?
 
 
Shontay from Chicago by way of Oakland: I moved to Oakland from Chicago 3 months ago. My boyfriend from Chicago and I broke up because we know we’re too far apart to make long distance work, but I just love him so much. What do I do?
 
 
I’ve been with my girl for like almost a year now and we got a baby on the way and everything. We argue a lot because she never really shows too much feelings for me or anything and she claims that she does and I give her pretty much everything I can. I always buy her things and I always show her love, I never slack on things I really give her everything I can. We argue sometimes because she’s not there for me. She puts her family before me and a lot of stuff like that. I know it hasn’t been that long that we’ve together but we got a baby on the way and everything, she’s like my family now. She is my family now I just want to know what I should do to make her get closer to me and everything because I’m starting to get sick of it.
 
 
Should I be with my boyfriend even though his parents aren't okay with our relationship due to their religious beliefs?
