Parents *
Most parents wants whats best for their children and I am sure she just wants to protect you from getting hurt.
Your mom probably feels that your bf is trying to get out of this relationship and at the same time, he is holding you just in case nothing else works out for him. I would think the same things if my daughter tells me this.
Normally, when you are involve in a relationship-taking a break from each other is not a good thing. If you both love each other, there is not reason why to take a break and be apart. Instead, you guys need to work together and figure out how to work things out together and not apart. This is probably what your mom is thinking.
Since you live at home, you have to respect your parents decision. However, it doesnt mean you need to give up on what you believe either. There has to be some compromising between everyone involve.
I am sorry I dont agree with the "taking a break method" This is pretty much saying, that you both can see different people, but not too much in the open. If I were you, I will discuss this with your bf and cover all ground to make sure you know everything.
You can always try to work things out with your mom by telling her that you guys broke up and decided to be friends instead. This way, she feels he is not dragging you along until he decides what he is going to do.
Plus, this is not fair to you. I am sure you miss him and you want to spend time with him and you can't. Have you guys decided when this decision was going to be made? This is important. You guys need to sit down and talk this through...setting a date to decide if you guys are going to start seeing each other again or not.
All relationship argues...what makes a relationship is working through them and getting closer together and never apart.
Hope all works well for you.
