let's start from the beginning (as if I'm not crying enough as it is now...)
my ex-boyfriend and I began going out last summer, and in February of this year he told me (over the phone) that he wanted more time to himself, so we broke up. I never got over him. I thought I began to, but whenever I see him the feelings come back and I want to be with him again, regardless that he broke my heart.
one night, I believe back in May, he kissed me unexpectedly, apologizing like crazy right after.
a few nights ago, he blurted out to me that he regretted what he did and he want's to be back with me again. when I heard that, I became extremely happy, but I knew something would block us from getting back together:
my parents.
tonight, he wanted to see me so we could talk more, and when I asked my parents (after much debating with myself to even ask my mom) my mom literally calls up my dad and they both say no. they also say that I cannot date him. at all. ever.
I'm heartbroken, and he is as well. I know that he hurt me in the past, and he realizes that he was wrong and I want to forgive him for it. my parents won't. they want me dating other people, not just him. I'm not saying I want to be with this guy forever; I know that's not likely going to happen. But I still have feelings for him. my mom says she's not doing it to hurt anyone, she just doesn't want me to be hurt again. I understand where she's coming from, but I'm willing to forgive him for hurting me and start over again. but like I said, parents won't let me.
any advice?
