I agre with Huntsman give it time. I'm a dad of a 16 year old Daughter and I tend to blow thing out sometimes. (Sometimes) LOL Its part of the parent thing. You will do it to. Theres 2 rules I learned growing up. Rule (1) the parents are always right.
Rule (2) if the parent are wrong see Rule (1) LOL

When my parents told me I could not see my girlfriend it just made me want to see her more and continued the relationship for another ear when it would have ended on it's own. Give MOM a chance to cool off then speak to her. It worked for me 17 years ago.

ya man, been "banned" from a girl once, and it was by her mother, and for something that was between her and the mother, without involving me. To make a long story short, my advice, give it atleast a week, aproach the mother, and ask her how the girl is, and if everything has been worked out between the two of them (do it in this sequence), then, ask about the girl and you, and why the punishment is that she cannot see you, and see if the two of you can reach an agreement. Now, like they say, expect the worst, hope for the best. So if she says, "look, I really do not want you two to see each other anymore" then you need to do that, as it will make you the better person in the end, and look all that much better to the mother (for future posibilities). Anyways, keep us posted, as we have all been in situations close to this. Good luck man.

P.S. hey look man, this also may be great for you, I mean, you'll be graduating soon. Trust me, in high school, I wasnt much to the "ladies", but in college, I have a blast, I meet new girls all the time, and they are much more mature, and much funner to be around. Just a thought.

Well I got the call from Brittany that was spose to end "us". It was just the opposite. She called and said that she loved me and to please not give up on her. I really dont want to give up on her but I dont know how long I can wait. I do know that parents (no offense to the parents out there) but if a parents tells his son or daughter to break up with there bf/gf, it most like will not happen. They will find a way to see eachother if they want to bad enough. Im going to do all I can to not go behind the mothers back, talk to her and try to come to an agreement. I really hope we can, if not well, I dunno. I guess I wont worry about that part right now. Im going to New Mexico with my dad and Ill probably figure somthin out while Im there, I think best while Im boarding. Then when I come back Im doing farm work (planning on making enough to buy me a new, rebuilt, 360 ). So Im hoping in the time Im gone maybe things will settle down here quit a bit. I hope. Thanks for the advice,
Dylan

Ya man, well, i hope everything works out for ya, but DONT wait too long man, trust me, you will end up regretting it, just like i did. I once waited 11 months for this girl, and to be honest with you, I now regret ever doing it, I mean, you cant even imagine the things that I missed out on, but she kept telling me to wait it out, and give it time, but it never happened, and frankly, I'm glad it didnt now. I once thought I "loved" her too, turned out I just hadnt experianced being with enough people to know that I did'nt really "love" her. I guess what I am trying to say is dont wait anymore than a week or two, take it from somebody who know's, it's not worth it man.

"Learn from other people's mistakes, as you will not live long enough to make them all for yourself" Took a little bit to let my pride down, but when I did, and adheared to this statement, I became a much happier person, with myself, and with all my friends. Whatever you do, dont let this girl get in between you and your friends. Friends last a lifetime man. Cant say that for many girl, besides that ONE, and who know's when she'll come around??¿¿

whats the saying.... something like "if you love someone, set her free, if she come's back, it's meant to be??"

Besides, everybody knows that the first break up never lasts.

i was in the same situtaion almost 3 years ago. she (my GF) ran away from her mother(who also abused her)and came to my house. I have a question for wezol... does her step mom beat her often? If so, the step mom has a problem.. your girlfriend trusts you, that's why she came to your house... if you really want to stay with her, now she needs to have a guy that will help her... I just waited 2 years for my girl to come home and we couldn't be happier...

Sounds like a helluva mess. Years ago, I had a girlfriend who lived with her grandparents because they deemed her mother unfit to raise her (mom had two kids by the age of 19). As such, grandma was insanely controlling of the girl and would sneak around, watch us, and make us come back to her house to be supervised after we had been out for "long enough."

Do you know what that did to the girl? She ended up just like her mother after we broke up.

Good luck with your relationship. If you really love her, you two will find a way to be together. Don't let her stepmother damage her psychologically.

Guys, I think that you are missing the fact that what COULD happen is he will end up getting stuck in the middle of the whole mess, then in the end, he could have both of them mad at him, trust me, I've been there. Give it 1-2 weeks, if it's not over with by then, you gotta move on man, then let nature take its course. There's too many girls out there to waste all your time on one.

No she dont beat her. Her step mom is a nice person as far as I can tell. Brittanys real mom is in prison though and her dad as been in Cali for a while. So right now its just her and her step mom and little sister. I think that isolating her will be the worste thing for her, since she is already homeschooled then she wont have any "out side contact" for a while. So I dont know. And yes I am a little worried about getting caught up in the middle of this. By doing what the mom wants then Brittany might think Im taking her moms side and start to hate me, but by not doing what her mom wants then the mom might not like me too much and not permit me to see her daughter even when all this is over and done with. I do want to wait for her and we are bf/gf still. But how long Im willing to wait I dont even know.

I'm starting to think this plot was already covered in "Cinderella"- wicked step- moms keeps her in house and dad is gone.

Maybe you should run over there with a glass slipper.

Personally- I don't think any parent should be slapping a 16+ year old very often. I could see a one time event or something, so I tend to think the step mom has problems more than likely.
