Parents hate him. What do I do?
My boyfriend is 29 and I'm 22, he has 3 kids but was never married. But in every other way he's perfect. He's extremely intelligent and is always educating me on things I had no idea about. He's very protective, not in a jealous way eg. He won't leave me alone if he drops me off somewhere at night. He makes me laugh a lot, he's very responsible and what I love most about him is how he tries so hard at everything he does and always succeeds.
My parents searched him on Facebook and found that he has kids, before even meeting him they hate him. They keep telling me to break up with him, everyday they yell and scream at me. I've told my parents we broke up and they think they can stop me from being friends with him now. It's getting really hard to see him in secret now .. What do I do??

Why are you letting your parents dictate your life like this? You're not a 16 year old girl, you're a grown woman so act like one. If they are constantly yelling at you, then move out and make a life for yourself on your own. Parents have no right to try and tell their children what to do once their children become legal adults. It would be fair for them to voice their concerns but this is WAY over the top.
That being said, you need to ask yourself some honest questions. Why does he have 3 children yet he's never been married? Are the 3 children from the same women or 3 different women (the answer to this one is crucial). What makes your relationship with him different than the last relationships that clearl ended?
It's fair to listen to advice from your parents but both you and they have to understand that ultimately this decision is yours. Dating in secret is NOT the way a grown adult handles a situation.

Its probably just the 3 kid part. Which IS a mess. If you two break up those poor kids. Does he have 3 different baby mommas? Maybe they are worried you will be number 4. You are too young for all of that and they probably are just afraid of you missing out and messing up your life. You are also probably leaving details out to make him sound better.

I don't like him, either. But you see, to most of your generation, nothing matters and everything is okay, even Obama being pals with domestic terrorist Bill Ayres and all sorts of other lowlife scumbags. Just ignore it and go ahead and elect him, anyway. And now see what has happened.
Just exactly how mature and insightful are you for a 22 year old?

We'd really need more info. If you gave us a link to his Facebook page we could check out the pics. They might have seen something in the pics that they don't like (other than the kids). How did he end up with three kids? Is the mother (or mothers) in the picture? Specifically, what do your parents say about him?
