Teenage kicks are hard to beat

Today, I’m not sure how to explain to my naive daughter that her new boyfriend is playing her. She insists that he’s just shy and that’s the reason he demands that no one knows about them, and pretends not to know her when other people are around. She thinks them having a secret is “romantic”. FML

You can’t get through to someone who refuses to listen, I’m afraid. Sometimes all you can do is get ready to pick up the pieces.

Sorry but this most likely will be a lesson learned the hard way.

So let me guess that he's married and that's why your daughter is in a secret relationship lol

Could be that 1) she is the side chick. 2) he is not a minor (statutory rape?) or 3) both. Do you even know this boyfriend?

Oh well...let her learn the hard way

Sounds like he wants to fool around but finds her too embarrassing for it to be made public. This is going to be a rough lesson.

We're talking about a middle school relationship right?

Whatever happens, don’t say ‘I told you so’
