Dear avalos:

In your original post you wrote: “My parents hate him because he’s ‘a loser’ and think I deserve better and don’t mind telling me this every time I see them. =”

But your mother, she is not a valid source to correctly evaluate your boyfriend as a loser, being who she is from your description.

Any relationship should be a Win-Win proposition. If you find yourself on the losing end of a relationship, repeatedly, on an ongoing basis, it is time to either change it, if possible, or abandon it.

I hope you make the right choice for you.
