Can My Boyfriend Get In Trouble When I Turn 17 In Texas

My boyfriend is 22. I am 16 and we have been together for 2 and 1/2 years. We have had sex before of course, although we do not do it often because we believe our relationship does not revolve around sexual intercourse. My parents don't know how old he is and none of my family knows. They all think he is only a year or two older than me. His family knows but they won't tell of course because it might get him into trouble. Each of our families likes the other's boyfriend/girlfriend. My boyfriend wants to go to school and or Police Academy to become a policeman. Can and will he get in trouble for our relationship while he is attending Police Academy? Note: He won't join the Police Academy until I turn 17. Can and will it still get him into trouble?
Please help/respond with a private message or post. I'd rather it be a message because I'm new at this site and I really havn't figured out how to work it just yet.
Thanks,

He is already in serious trouble. He has comitted Stat rape at least. His Police career might be over before it even starts! You want advice end the relationship today! Wont matter about your turning 17 its the past acts that will nail him. I have not checked but he could still be in trouble when you turn 17. By the way if through your IP or anything else you have posted its figured out who you and he are this thread can be used. End the relationship now or he could face a lifetime registration as sex offender and his Police career over.

Wow...that is a major maaaaaajor bummer. Like way more than a bummer.
How can you end a relationship with someone you have been with for so long? I mean we didn't even know how old each other was until it was really sort of too late. I mean when we got together I was a super confused kid. Seriously...and I didn't ever have a boyfriend so it was sort of an impulse rebelling action against my parents to be honest. Plus, someone finally liked me so I jumped at the oppurtunity. Then I found out how old he was when he came over (a cousin of his told me) and I freaked. He put his head in his hands and cried and apologized. We had already had a 7 hour phone conversation about each other's lives and really connected... Now, me and my parents and family AND HIS have been through hell and back with this relationship, and finally my parents and I have a wonderful relationship. I'm not skipping school or doing anything that would dissapoint them. I am making straight A's in AP classes and everything. I am holding him back from his dreams because I could get him into trouble. We care about each other so much and enjoy each other's company. Today he just got fired and he has bills to pay. He wants a family and a home of his own with me..and I'm like dude baby's are adorable and I want one but realistically I am focused straight on school. I just can't imagine my life without him. Not because I love him but because it would be so lonely. There is no solution.

Whine all you want if you care about him and his future and possible freedom you will end this today!!

I do care about him and his future. I want him to be happy. I'm almost afraid to break up with him for fear of how his life will be without me in it. I mean I help him a lot. - more than a "little kid" should help a man. I am smarter than him. =/ which is really rude of me to say... I was just on the phone with him talking about how he lost his job today and needs to find another one so he can pay his bills and go to school. Some guy pushed him down the stairs at work and blamed it on him when my boyfriend turned on him. So the boss played favorites and fired him. =/ He wants to be somebody and go somewhere in life. He wants to raise a family in a good home and prove people wrong. I mean wah wah I'm whining again. I have tried to end it before because I am holding him back, but he only says the same thing; he loves me and he can wait. Or he loves me and we will figure this out. His mom told us to wait until I'm 17, but I finally got off my ass and did some research and found this site. I read that in Texas it doesn't matter if you are 17. Unless the partner is 2 years older or less, it is still ilegal. Also, the age of consent law thingy or whatever says that it can be 10 years ago and they can STILL get in trouble. I watch law & order SVU a lot too. I'm not scared for me, I'm scared for him. It's been 2 and 1/2 years now...and no trouble yet.

Your being selfish and trying to hold onto this illegal relationship! If you feel this is forever then you can wait because you have forever to look forward to. If your ages are discovered either by accident, friends or even this site he can face serious problems not just denial of police career. Only carer he could get might involve fast food! If you care you will end the relationship which neither of you should have started to begin with

EXACTLY PANTHER! I told him the exact same thing. I am being selfish and blah blah. I told him I don't want to get him into trouble and I want him to be someone. I don't know if it is forever. I can't tell the future. I'm not sure if I want it to be forever. I'm only freakin sixteen years old! I have my entire life ahead of me! The thing is I am trying to fit a different image this year and next school year. I want to be on the drumline, I want to make good grades, get my lettermans jacket and all that good stuff. Last year I was gangster (wanna be) and listened to rap, wore thuggish brands, tried to be someone I'm not, sex, all the things that go with it. I was depressed and found out I had ADHD. I am trying to fit a different image this year, the person I was raised to be, the person the people I love WANT me to be...he does not fit the image, but I can't just break up with a person I have been with for SO long and been through SO much with JUST based soley on the fact that I changed...

Sure you can. People end relationships everyday due to one or the other changing and having new needs. He is manipulating you. Dump him. Now. And considering he knowingly had sex with a 13 or 14 year old (when this started) you may want to report him before he rapes (and that is what he did. you can't consent to sex therefore your bf raped you.) another little girl. There is something wrong with a 19 or 20 year old guy that WANTS to date/have sex with, a 13/14 year old. Tell your parents before he does something more to you. The guy is sick.

Well in the beginning it was rape and still is-technically. Although my opinion on age and sex is tainted. My mom is 52, and my dad is 40. Although being an adult vs. adult is way different than adult vs. teen. I know he wants and would rather be with an older woman more his age, but he already fell in love with me. He used to be embarrassed because he was interested in such a young girl. He didn't want to tell even his best friend because he didn't want to be made fun of. Although he stayed with me because he cared about me and we made each other happy WITHOUT sex. I don't really like sex for some reason. I mean it's nice and all, but it's not all people make it out to be. It's just pleasure. & In my opinion, I can get pleasure from many other things that do not involve inappropriate behavior. "Making out" most of the time makes me uncomfortable. =/. I just enjoy little kisses most of the time.- signs of affection. I'm a simple teenager. I'm just so confused and he knows it. When his family finds out they are gonna be like wtfuCX? My parents will question it, but more than likely be happy. I know people do break up because of change all the time, but my feelings for him havn't really changed, just my personality. Maybe that is one in the same though...maybe our personalities just don't match up anymore. Maybe they never did.
