Ok ok. Here’s what you do: are you both having sex? Make sure you protect yourself. Then, have a serious talk with your mom. You are 18. Tell her you are taking precautions but staying with him is not about the sex, is about being together. Be honest. Look her in the eyes. Be firm. And tell her. Don’t ask permission. Because you don’t have to. If you try to come across as “asking”, you’re giving her the opportunity to have a saying. Don’t. Make sure you’re simply “letting her know” you’re staying with your boyfriend overnight sometimes and that’s it. She might get upset, but that’s what moms do. She will understand and if she knows you’re being mature and taking care of yourself, she will come around. Good luck 🌟
Staying the night with my boyfriend
I am 18 years old and have been in a serious relationship for almost four years. He has his own place and I would like to start staying the night with him, but i'm scared to ask my (semi strict) mother. She trusts me to go to his house everyday but I have to come home at night and it seems a little pointless since there's nothing we could do at night that we couldn't do during the day.
I'm scared to ask because I have been staying the night with him every now and then but saying that i'm at a friends house. I have a feeling that she suspects I am staying with him but she doesn't say anything. I'm just worried she won't let me stay at "my friends house" anymore and i'll ruin what we've been doing. I also don't want to ruin my relationship with my mom by doing it even if she disagrees.
I just feel like I'm going to have to start making my own decisions at some point.
What do you think?

I had a similar relationship with my mom. I stayed the night with my boyfriend of 3 years at that time, for the first time when I was 17. I was never able to lie about "staying at a friend's" because she'd literally come to whatever friends house I was at and see me there, physically. 😂 But when the time came, I just straight up asked her if I could stay the night with him, and she agreed. Honesty is key. Just don't lie and she should understand. Especially since you're 18. Good luck!
