ORIGINAL: IntimateDarkness ...The problem is she has pretty strict parents...She has to let the parents know 1-2 days ahead of time if she's going out and she has curfews etc otherwise she's afraid all hell will break loose with the folks. She also can't see me more then a few times a week because that'll raise some red flags. So this has been shall we say FUCKED UP for me, for obvious reasons like no chance of having anything M/s which of course was the whole point! Why has this made it "fucked up" for You? You knew the rules going in. It sounds like they're not going to change. You have a simple choice- either accept the limitations on the relationship, or leave. quote:
ORIGINAL: IntimateDarkness So here's the thing, I've gone ahead and talked to her about it. I've been proactive and invited them to go eat out this Wednesday. I don't know if they'll loosen up they are really decent people so its worth a shot. Dude... they so won't loosen up. You are wasting Your time expecting them to. As long as she's living with them, or they're paying for her school, they have the right to expect certain behavior in return. She has a simple choice- either accept their interference, or leave. It sounds like she's already made her choice. quote:
ORIGINAL: IntimateDarkness The thing is I talked to her about this last night, I ask her if she thinks this might help smooth out the control issues with her going out with me and she felt pressured when I told her it is inappropriate to be 20 years old and have to pussyfoot the first relationship her parents have seen her in and she pretty much blew up, raised her voice at me and told me that she felt attacked and wanted to change the subject. I told her I'm sorry I didn't want her to feel attacked and I really just wanted to spend more time with her. The "control issues" with her parents are not going to be smoothed out. It is NOT inappropriate for parents to set rules and expect anyone living in their house to abide by them, regardless of the person's age. It appears that this is a limit that she has made clear to You. You can choose to accept that, you can choose to leave and find someone without these kinds of restrictions, but criticising her parents to her can do absolutely no good. It doesn't matter whether YOU think they're being reasonable. They are her parents. What choice does she have but to obey *their* rules while in *their* house, being supported by *them*? quote:
ORIGINAL:IntimateDarkness She's never raised her voice and responded in an angry manner before to me, it's the first M/s relationship I've been in and I'm wondering if I should just sweep it under the rug or call her out on it when we are together in my house tomorrow. i would do neither. What i would do is listen. She's trying to tell You something important. quote:
ORIGINAL: IntimateDarkness And if I call her out on it, I'm most likely going to slap her once or twice. I could genuinely use some advice because my main purpose is to maintain control and discipline not hurt her out of spite. I don't feel spiteful in any way at all. It is about what is best for our relationship and keeping things in check. Slapping her doesn't show that You're *maintaining* control in the relationship. On the contrary, i think it shows that You've *lost* it. You both need to work on communication. Lashing out at someone verbally is NOT an effective way to communicate, nor is becoming "distant" because of resentment. Neither one of you is communicating well, and now You're talking about how to "punish" her for trying to communicate with You, instead of actually listening to her. Furthermore, not respecting her limits shows an incredible lack of self discipline on Your part, and, frankly, the way You write makes it sounds like You're not sure You could avoid slapping her even if You wanted to. You do NOT come across as a person who's in full control of himself. i think You should be more worried about THAT than about the fact that she raised her voice. pam
