I’m in a long distance relationship with an 18-year-old guy who lives in Kerala. We first met on Facebook. We love each other a lot; we speak for hours on the phone although we have never seen each other. Neither of us has a doubt about the other. The problem is that my mother knows about it and she restricts me from talking to him as she says that I’m too innocent and I don’t know the world and all that stuff. But I really love him and he loves me too. My mother says I should concentrate on my studies. But it’s not that I’m not studying: I study and I’m scoring better than before and even he forces me to study. I don’t see the point in not speaking to him, but sometimes I feel that my mother’s right. But I can’t go a minute without thinking about him. I want to be with him and also not go against my mother. What should I do?
The beginning of your teenage when you need guidance from those who love you and have more experience of life, the best thing you should do is to trust the judgment of your mother. The fact that you “speak for hours on the phone although we have never seen each other” (who pays the phone bill?) and you “can’t go a minute without thinking about him” proves that you are just utterly and blindly infatuated with that boy. You are living a dream of love without knowing the meaning of love, which grows slowly and needs deep personal experience. Trust your mother’s advice and don’t go against her opinion.
