Just cut him off entirely?

So I'm almost 22 years old and I've been dating my boyfriend since I was 19 so about 2 and a half years now. Despite our age, neither my boyfriend's parents nor my own have wanted to acknowledge that we aren't kids and could actually get married one day and might actually deserve some amount of privacy.

Well now everything is effed up. I'm short and curvy with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. I'm quirky, an introvert, and into things that most girls I know aren't really interested in. My boyfriend's dream girl, however, has fake red hair and fake breasts and wears makeup, mini skirts, and tight shirts. I'm so sick of dealing with him and feeling bad about myself that I'm not even sure I want to be with him anymore.

Cue my Dad's informing me that he was talking to my Mom about us and how he thinks that, given our ages, we should have privacy when he comes to visit.


Ouch.


I wish he could come but the last two times we've been together, he's indicated disappointment over this or that and it's made me feel bad. I'm reluctant to even invite him over again because I can't deal with this sort of pressure every time he comes to visit and I feel like he's the girl, bitching and crying and whining over everything.

I'm so used to him being around though. Should I stop talking to him altogether? I don't have anyone else to talk to on YIM so just delete it? :( I feel like I'm just so tired of looping around these issues but I don't know if we're actually broken up. I know he'd want me back in a heartbeat but I can't figure out for the life of me why anymore. And if we break up for good, I don't want to watch him move on because he's such a sex and girl nut that it wouldn't be pretty. >.<

I guess I'm confused?  You want to just cut off all ties with him because he' has a different idea of an ideal woman?  I'm sure there is more to the story than what's in this post.  I mean, everyone has an "ideal person" I think...that doesn't mean that they can't love someone else unconditionally.  If he's actually rubbing this in and making you constantly feel bad about it that's a whole different story.

I also don't get how your parents wanting to give you more privacy is a bad thing.  Wouldn't that be a good thing?

I think it's hard for me to say "yes break up with him" or "not don't" based off this information.  It's obviously only one piece of a rather large story.  I'm also not a fan of breaking up with people over very specific problems (i.e. "he complains too much").  People are imperfect.  The key to whether or not you need to consider breaking up should come from this: 1.  Have you tried working out the problems you're having with him in several ways and is he aware that it's bothering you?  2.  Deep down, do you know that this isn't some thing can continue on forever, even if you keep working on it?  If the answer is yes to both of those, it may be time.

Regardless, I wouldn't just cut him off everywhere.  At least talk to him about it and go about the breakup maturely.  Don't just throw all those years away instantly by burning bridges.
