This is a sticky one. You are correct that she should break up with you for her own reasons. But what if her reasons are that going out with you is causing strife with her parents, and she'd prefer to minimize that strife? You don't mention how old your girlfriend is. If she's still financially supported by her parents, then it might be very important to her to please them enough to continue supporting her. If she's financially independent, she may still value their opinion enough to find it relevant in her assessment of your relationship. Sometimes parents have the benefit of previous experience that can be useful to children (no matter how old the child). Other times, parents are so out of touch with reality that their opinion carries no weight. It's up to your girlfriend whether she listens to somebody else here. Whether that's her parents telling her to break up with you, or it's you telling her to ignore her parents. It would be better if she was making this decision herself, rather than simply doing what someone else says. Edited to add: I have no idea if you should wait for her. Do what your heart says. Not what someone else tells you to do.

If she said I'm breaking up with you because my parents are making me... then her parents are still her guardians and have the right to tell her and you that you can't see each other. When she turns 18 and moves out of her parents house, then you can see each other all you like. If her parents don't approve of you she may just be going out with you because the parents don't like you. Not a good basis to start a relationship. If you're as young as I think you are, you don't know what you are looking for yet anyway. Date around until you have an idea of what kind of girl will make you happy. Then date some more until you have an idea of what kind of woman you want to grow old with.

Tell her how alone you are without her and her parents wont know if you still hang out. this would work :) lol

If you have to TELL her to stay with you...you are better off without her. Do you really want a future with someone who does NOT put you ahead of others on sucha fundementally important issue?

Myabe she is just using her parents as an excuse that you can't fight back against.

Whether she should listen to her parents or not is not your decision, it's hers. She is not wrong by going along with what her parents are saying, and you are not wrong for thinking she's wrong. It's all about perspective and opinion. You don't know what's going on with her or her parents (or do you?). So, yeah. Let her talk about that further with you if she wants to talk about it, and if she doesn't.. forget it. It's over. Try to move on. (Just my opinion. xD)

mate don't waste your time or breath ...the decision has been made for her and she was never in love with you if she has let someone make up her mind for her ...move on and find your self a lady who can and does think for her self

Hey I am in the same position where my girlfriend keeps defending her dad especially . Hes such a interfering bastard. Although I am so hurt that after 3 years of a relationship she is now defending his actions, I really have to question how much she loves me if she defends them. I put myself in her shoes and know I would never do that to her, so as much as it hurts, I think I have to find someone who will love me the way I love them. Im the same boat as you so I know where your coming from. Its hard and heart breaking, but I guess better than a lifetime of unhappiness and being number 2 in her life

Hey guys thanks for all your reply. Its been quite some time when i posted my problem (infact almost 3 years ;) ) but I did exactly most of you commented here, moved on. It was tough for me to see her near my house daily and ignore her, so i shifted my place far from her place. And irony is, she came to my new house (day before) to wish me for some function. Spoke n mingled with my parents (my parents knew her and they never spoken to her before) and moved in like shes a family member. Shes financially independent now (n 23 year old) and so am i. I'm a year older to her. I would stil lov to take her out n hangout. But what am i doin?!

She wants to buddy! If she didn't, she would not listen to her parents, period.

She is not breaking up with you because of her parents. She is just using that convenience. Move on. There is not just one girl who can love you, but thousands. Not all at the same time, mind you. I wouldn't want to start you on a project. Start dating other girls and give her some space. If she loves you, she will be back.. if not, the best way to forget one girl is with two girls.

I'm in the exact same situation. I googled this and found your question here. I know its wrong to do the exact opposite of what they told me not to do. They found out we were going out, sat me down and had this awful talk, and i feel awful and guilty if i dont break up with him and have to lie to my parents when theyre that serious. Then i feel just as/more awful if i break up with him for that reason. Its really hard, and i feel really bad. idk what to do.
