Now my gf's dad came to see the car befor i bought it but my parents are now banning her from my home and they arnt talking to her parents because they are upset they her dad would take me to get a car and not say " dont you think you parents should be involved". Now my whole life has been wrapped around my moms fingers and now im trying to become a man and at almost 20 years old i think that i should be able to make decisions without my parents input about every detail. So the story is now that im caught between childish parents that wont let me grow up and my gf and her parents that think highly of me and treat me like an adult. So im trying to make it as easy as possible but im still under my parents roof so i cant just rebel totaly and expect to stay here very much longer. Can anyone give me advice on this?. Counceling has been an option but i want to know opinions.
thanks for listening.

It is such a bad idea to get into joint financial commitments at your age. your parents just see what you don't that, if the relationship ends its just going to be a nightmare to sort out the ownership of the car.
Sera300 knows more about the laws governing car ownership in the US did you actually think about any of the points she raised before you bought the car. As a matter of fact did you actually consider asking anybodies advice before you bought your first car? I was 24 when I bought mine and I asked my parents advice not because I was some daddy's girl but because I was old enough to take advice without acting out like a teenager.
Anyway I think going by the title you're being a little melodramatic. you don't need counselling!! you just need to start engaging your brain. I honestly think that this could all end up in tears for you and maybe that could be just the learning experience you need.
