Is my choice wrong?

No,you are right!When you are young,the relationship you get is the most hearty.Now you have the relationship for 10 years.How many 10-year do you have in your life? So don't give up,even if you can't be a couple.What your parients said may be true.We can't live without material.Without the support of material,we will die,and at that time, what we concern is money, food and cloth.Although we are humanbeings,and we have ethics,we are still animals,and seek to live is the instinct.And who you can really trust? Youself. If I were you,first keep relationship with him,and second make a plan how to set up strong economic foundation.You should prove that you can be your own master,and you can live better.And remember knowedge is the best wealth. Good luck!

I think that I understand both you and your parents here having been on both sides of this coin. I have raised 4 daughters and I have watched them be with guys that are just useless....can't hold a job...no incentives in life, etc. Of course material wealth is not everything. In fact it is not important at all. What is important is ambition and drive to at least be self-sufficient. That counts for so much. Does your boyfriend work...do you? You have graduated and so you should be either striving for a higher education or at least being independant from your parents. Your boyfriend should be doing the same. I am poor and always have been. I have 4 kids, 3 of whom are grown and one still at home. I raised them on my own and without help...worked my tail off and I don't even get child support. It is all about priorities. Mom and Dad won't be there for you forever. I moved out of my home right after graduation...yup...struggled but that was my choice. My parents would have supported me had I gone on to college and were very disappointed when I did not. I did not want to be under their rule & thumb. I did take some classes on my own later on....made many bad choices and learned from them but still...no one to blame and no regrets and did not have to answer to anyone. From the sounds of it you both need some real motivation. You sound very young and dependent on mom & dad. I'd say the first step would be for you to get out on your own and then you can decide whether or not you want to support a boyfriend.

parents normally think of what is good for their sons/daughters and you must try to understand that all they want for you is a bright future with someone who has a stable social status, however, you must not hide what you truly feel about their plans for you, tell them your own plans and try to reflect which one is really better. as long as you and your boyfriend work hard, you can have a good life, that is, if your boyfriend is willing to make a lot of sacrifices to be able to pursue your relationship. i'm pretty much sure you're old enough to assess which choice will do you more good and i hope you won't end up regretting in the end. wish you luck.

Sorry to hear that. its really a extremely serious issue. I cant give you any detailed advice, it all depends on your own, because only yourself know whether he is the right man get along with you in your whole life. Please definitely confirm he is just the "knight" in your dream,and he must care you, company you, share weal and woe through whole life etc. Ask yourself , and the answer sincerely is "Yes, I am sure". Then do not care about anything obstacle, pursue your own happiness.Pain past is pleasure.The day that your family agree with you will come before long! Good luck!

Of course you should keep up with such kind of relationship with your boyfriend.

Of course you should keep dating him. I think you should stop lying to your parents, and just tell them the truth. Not only do they deserve to hear it. But both of you deserve to live the truth. Do what is in your heart.

I get the point of your parents. They just care for your future, that is why they are worried with the status of your boyfriend. For me, there is nothing wrong to continue with your relationship with him as long that you can see nothing wrong with his attitude. As long as your relationship is running smoothly and the two of you love and care each other very much, stopping the relationship will not be the best idea, I think. Remember, true love come once in a lifetime so not waste the chance to have it. For me, I think your boyfriend doesn't want to belong in a poor status. And I think everyone doesn't want to be poor. But it doesn't mean that he is poor now, he will stay in that condition. He can find ways to uplift his living and be financially stable.Your boyfriend must be given a chance to improve his living. He can look for a part time job and and then make half of his time studying in school. Here in our country, almost majority of the students are working students. They belong in unfortunate family also and because they want to finish their studies, they look for a part time job. Why not suggest this thing to your boyfriend, so your parents will not look down on him.

Hello rainnie! I am sorry to heard that happen to you.though i think you make a right choose.yeah to be honest.I had some stuff happen like you.But my ex boyfriend he has high education and his famliy is much better than mine. his parents dislike me.because i was a student,he is a teacher.and I am a poor gilr in a poor family.we loved each other.finally we break up. I know it is no right that a student to be with a teacher,it's bad for him.he might lose his job because of me. sometimes i think LOVE does not mean must to be together. but remember if you find your ture love,pls do not easy to give him up. take care
