Hey Ranj: I have been dating my boyfriend for three years. I'm only 18. A couple months ago, I moved out of my parents' home so I could move in with him. Now I miss my mom and dad, but I don't want to tell my boyfriend. What should I do? -- Missing My Parents in Rochelle, IL

 

Hey Missing: You have a right to your feelings, and you're shouldn't keep them hidden from your boyfriend. Good communication is key to a good relationship. You also have a right to change your mind. Perhaps, you weren't ready to move in with a boy. You are only 18 and you should be concentrating on your education and future. Consider this a valuable lesson. Explain to your boyfriend that you want to go back to your parents. If he wants to stay with you then he should be understanding. A woman should have the skills to be financially independent before moving in with a mate.
