I need a little help through this.

Be proud of your daughter.

She is an adult and she is making choices like an adult. She is taking responsibility for her own actions and making sure to protect herself. She is keeping you in the loop and not shutting you out. Clearly she trusts you and values your opinion, even though she's a 17 year old girl. Be proud of yourself for that. Anyone who would take issue with your daughter's "purity" is not worth you or your daughter's time or thought.

I agree with this. Even as a DisDad who most likely will be left out of the loop when this happens (mostly to keep the future boyfriend out of the hospital LOL), my DW and DD have very good communication and I hope and pray this will work out for us the same way. I have no shame about speaking with my DD about this, but she is becoming shy about discussing such things with Dad. She about passed out on the phone a few weeks ago when I offered to bring her some fresh clothes and hygiene supplies at school, since the unexpected started as soon as she got there.

Good for you and your daughter having such wonderful communication. She is growing up to fast (they always do), but this is a good thing IMO. Eventually as parents, we have to become friends with our kids instead of the boss.

AWW that is the sweetest thing ever. I know she is growing up and I have to let her. And you are right about them being shay about talking top dad as mine wanted me to tell him instead of her. And she too was concerned with how her bf would be treated from now on. But I have to tell you her dad felt like her was out of the loop so he went and talked to her and wanted to clear the air. Dd told me that while she was embarrassed she is glad he did so that she can think of him the same.

i hope that everything works out for your dd the way you want them to too. I know that if you have good communication it should go just fine. Try not to worry too much, I know easier said then done.
