Hello!
My mom has occasionally told me what kind of boy she wants me to have as my boyfriend:
-Cute/Handsome
-Fit
-Sweet, honest, etc
-Lives in the same city [Meaning, not long-distance, online, etc.]
-Skin colour: white [Can have a tan]
I had once asked her what she would do if I had an Internet relationship. She told me she would throw my computer down the stairs, be very angry, and ground me as long as I'm living in her house.
The thing is.. Right now, I have a boyfriend and nobody but my friends know.
He is:
-Not the most handsome guy in the world
-Kind of fit
-Sweet, honest, etc
-Lives on the other side of the border [internet relationship]
-He's Asian..
Basically, I have an Internet boyfriend and nobody but me and my friends know about this. For quite some time I've been wanting to tell my family about it, but it's so hard knowing what my mom would do about it. [Plus, to make matters worse.. He's almost the exact opposite of what my mom wants me to have as a boyfriend.] I know it's simple to just not tell them at all, but I think it'd be unfair of me to keep it a secret even though my boyfriend has already told his parents. My boyfriend doesn't even know what I haven't told my family. Heck, he doesn't even know that I'm so confused about whether I should tell them or not.. I seriously have no idea what to do.. I know it could be so simple to just tell my parents and hope for the best but.. It's not that easy, because if I'm basically grounded for life, I will lose the one person I love more than anybody else in the world that is currently in my life.
Does anybody know what I should do?
