Hello everyone,
I've been in a long distance relationship with my Swedish girlfriend for more than 4 months. We love each other so much and we obviously want to meet but my parents seem not to agree with that.
My girlfriend and I already discussed everything, what we want to do etc, and how. She would come to me (she's older than me, she's 18, I'm 15), pay everything and stuff. But my parents don't want her in this house because they think I don't know her and because they don't know her, because I haven't seen her in person yet (but we've talked for more than 2 years, so why wouldn't we know each other? :/ My parents don't know anyone from the internet so they don't know it...)
I get really sad and upset by their reaction and there seems no way to change their minds. They keep telling me I have to meet her in person first but she can't sleep in my (their) house.
But that's impossible, she's not going to come here to stay for a few hours, right, if there are options to see each other a week or so? Or am I wrong?
Plus, she doesn't have money to stay at a hotel, neither do I. (And it would be totally unpractical - hotels are like 5-10 km away from here)
Then they offer another option, she could come to Denmark while we are on holidays there, but then she would travel a lot (like.. um, 2x 5 hours?) and probably pay a lot to see me a few hours.
It's totally ridiculous. I understand that my parents needed to get used to the fact that I have a girlfriend living far away from me, but now they're used to it I don't get their point.
Why don't let they just live my life? They know she's a 'normal' person, if you know what I mean, so what's the deal? I know that I'm young but that doesn't mean I can't think maturely about love...
Could somebody please help me? Maybe any tips how to convince them or so? Because I don't know anything anymore........
