Hey guys,
So recently me and my boyfriend have gotten back together. We broke up for 3 months in 2012 and got back together and broke up again in June and got back together a few months ago..
Well, here's the problem. My parents and family stopped liking my boyfriend after the first time we broke up, hes only been to my house once ever since. My boyfriend has been trying so hard to get my dad's trust back and my mom has loosened up a little, but the other thing is, I still havent told my dad that we are dating. After me and my boyfriend broke up, I dated this other guy for two months and I regret it, it was just what I needed at the time, but my dad still thinks that I am dating that other guy when we broke up in September..

I have no idea how to tell my dad that I am back with my boyfriend, we honestly love each other so much and going through so much has made us stronger as a couple, I know it looks bad, but I swear to you guys it's not. We somehow always get brought back together and I can't imagine my life without him. I just have no clue how to tell my dad and how to help my boyfriend get their trust back.

Ultimately it is always going to be completely up to you who you date but I can understand why they are concerned if you have had a rocky relationship in the past.

All I can suggest is being completely honest - it is better to have the difficult, awkward discussion now rather than have your dad find out in a years time that you haven't been honest with him - trust me I have been there! It is much more difficult and awkward later on. It also then raises suspicion on their part when you feel you need to hide the relationship. They may start to question whether there is a reason you couldn't tell them and they shouldn't trust him.

As for building trust, all I can suggest is to give it some time. In time, if he sees that you are serious about your boyfriend and that he is a nice person who is good to you then normally trust will begin to form again. Dad's are particularly hard - they want to protect their daughters - but give it time.
