I have been involved with a guy for three-and-a-half years, but I think he is hiding me from his parents. The least thing I do, makes him upset. He doesn't want to see me with any other guy, because he claims he loves me, but he still treats me badly at times. His good ways do outweigh his bad ways, but I am really confused.

Please pastor, tell me what to do?

Dear S. D.,

Why would a man not introduce you to his parents after three years of friendship? I could answer my own question. He is not serious about you. It is likely that he has another girlfriend that they know or he does not believe you are good enough to be his wife.

Some men keep women just to have sex, but they often say these women are "not wife material". I hope that you will not allow yourself to be used.

Pastor
