Hey everyone, so much has changed between me and my SO in just two days. First of all, I have been keeping my SO a secret from my parents everysince we started talking because my parents are very protective when it comes to dating and I was afraid they were going to make me end my relationship with my SO. On Sunday afternoon, my SO sent me a 4 page text breaking up with me! Keep in mind my SO and I have been together for a year and two months. I was absolutely heated!! So I called him back to ask for closure and to explain why he was really breaking up with me. He told me it was because he got fed up with me keeping him as a secret from my parents. He mentioned that it bothered him once. My thinking is if it really bothered him, he should have pushed me, questioned me, and gave me a deadline when to tell my folks. That phone call with my SO was dreadful, we were shouting on the top of our lungs until we had nothing left to say to each other. So Sunday night I was absoulutely heartbrokened, could not eat, sleep, all I wanted to do was work things out with him. Then I started talking to my close friends about the situation and they gave me some great advice on what to do. So I called my SO back and talked to him in a calm voice and asking for another chance, I literally had to beg for another chance. Then he finally accepted. He gave me another chance and told me I needed to tell my parents asap! I wanted to tell them not just for him, but for me too. All night I prayed and prayed for God to give me the strength to talk to my parents. Monday morning I went to tell my parents everything and they didn't have time to talk because they were getting ready for work, so I had to wait until they got home from work. When my parents came home, they began asking me what I needed to talk to them about, so I told them EVERYTHING!! They flipped out because they were upset that I could've put myself in danger and that I've been keeping this for so long. Now I've visited with my SO 4 times and he's never put me in any kind of danger and he's always treated me like a princess
At the same time, I can see why they were upset because you know they hardly knew him. So I stood my ground, spoke up, and told my parents I was going to keep talking to my SO whether they like it or not. I am a hardworking 21 year old female who deserves to live her life. After I had that huge talk with my parents, with tears and all, I called my SO and told him what happened. My SO was still pretty upset with me and kind of distant towards me, which I understand but I think he was still happy I finally stood up to my parents. My SO and I still really care about each other very much! So right now we are working things out, and I have to continue fighting for us and prove that I deserve him back!
