i have a boyfriend story from when i was 15.. he was 19 (he actually worked with dad) i also worked there, so we managed to see a lot of each other, then he would hang around way after his shift would finish while i was working etc and it wen on from there, we started writing letters, and then he actually said to ask mum n dad of they minded us being together.. they werent too happy, but at the same time, my dad was good friends with his mum (who also worked at the same company!)
we started going out to the movies/shopping/watching dvds at his place, and the trouble started here - i kept coming home too late.. 12 was my curfew (he had a car & licence) so i would be home @ 1, 2, 3... oops!
then i stopped seeing my friends, wasnt interested in going to parties, and we spoke on the phone every night for hours- i was only allowed to go out on the weekends. mum kept trying to ask why i didnt see this friend or that friend anymore, but i just said i didnt know.. but really the reason was him, he would say 'why do you want to go to that party for, just to see the guys? ' or 'we just went shopping on saturday, why do you need to go with so snd so' hmm alarm bells shoudl have rang then, but not for this love struck 15 yo!
then the trouble really starts... mum says thats it.. no more. we never EVER argued about anything.. and we argued about this, which upset me so much. we were told not to contact each other, dad even told bf's mum the situation, she said she will do what she can, but cant stop him going out or whatever as he is 19.
we used to hide letters at work for each other at shift swapover (he worked days, i did 2 nights a week) sometime i would leave a letter on my window sill outside, and wake up @ like 6am to find it gone and one left for me... ohh how i felt like romeo and juliet!! i just could not see that he was brainwashing me into believeing everyword he said, at one point he told me the story of how his parent were 15 & 19 when he was born (which was true, and i already knew this) and that would it be funny if the same thing happend to us at the same age.. more alarm bells?? he was the first person i slept with, and we only used protection once or twice, as he said 'dont worry, nothing will happen' well, i missed 2 periods, then one day at school i had cramps and the heaviest period id ever had. when i told him he was so angry and said 'u were probably pregnant and youve lost it now'
ohh i could go on, but eventually i saw the light, saw that he wasnt right for me, that mum was right all along, i eventually told him i couldnt sneak around, and it was over... i just ignored him, left his letters whenever he put them and didnt reply. even now, if something comes up about him, i feel bad but i make the effort to say to mum she did the right thing in taking charge to look after me!
we still worked together for about 3 years after that, but all was good, we spoke as friends, mum and dad didnt mind, they knew it was over.. we did actually sneak away and have a kiss at a work party once, it was nice and it was like a closure for me (thats how i felt at the time anyway)
im sorry if this story doesnt make much sense, and i may have carried away from the point, but im actually all emotional now after writing it!!
