A month ago, a boyfriend of my friend tried to explain to her parents that he was having problems with his girlfriend because he hadn't had sex with her in months. My friend was surprised that her parents actually approved of his attempt at reconciliation because they never tried to talk her out of being with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend even explained that although he and her were no longer seeing each other they still hung out on a regular basis and had sex. Ironically, her parents didn't approve because they felt like it was too early in the relationship for him to be hanging around their daughter as much as he did. Her boyfriend tried to explain that their daughter only wants one thing from them and that is to have a mature conversation about the future of the relationship..
