thanks for the advice all. and i also want to ask about living together, my parents are AGAINST that too. now, i know they legally can't stop me. so if any of you are against it, or have parents that are against it rather, why is living together SO BAD? i know there are cons, but in my opinion, there are more things GOOD about living together before marriage.

greetings all, i have a problem. Ok, i just turned 18 on the 1st of this month. my boyfriend lives in california, and he's 23. we've been together in our ldr for 3 years. we saw each other in person 2, yes, 2 years ago (mainly because of the age law and the best way to avoid trouble is to not be with each other in person) Well anyways, we have been planning on him coming over to see me here in Texas, well, my parents refuse to let me see him. i'm 18 for crying out loud, i dont know what to do. we just have to see each other, and he was planning on getting us a hotel to stay at for the week and a half he was coming over, (like a mini version of us living together) and we were gonna go to the movies together, and do all the stuff that boyfriends and girlfriends do. i dont know what to do, i'm so mad right now. they CAN'T tell me i can't see my boyfriend. what can i do? i'm so lost
