What to do about my girl's overprotective mother?

[Az]

damn, people.

You know, when you hear about the homeless people fighting for money, you feel how bad modern western society is. When you hear your stories, I feel glad.


Seriously.

Tell her your fantasy is to do it with a mother and daughter.

[Bosh]

korean families tend to be dominated by the eldest mother, even if the culture itself is patriarchal. grandmother doesn't like it because--guess why--she's not korean.

This sounds strangely familiar.

AS: if she's that crazy just date the girl behind her back, it can't be that hard to avoid the mom.

Well, see, that's your problem. You're not. In fact, I'd say you were one of the more despicable specimins of male, full of self-righteousness, and pride and wrath. I'd never let my daughters date anyone like you.

Tell us what you really think

I think you're too harsh Che.
Speer sure is self righteous, but I don't expect him to turn violent on his girlfriend. I personally think he'll love his pricinples more than individuals, sure, but I don't imagine him using violence or blatant authoritarianism over his gf.

dude, che... that was a bit harsh. sure, that remark was a bit prideful, but seriously? he's not one of the worse 'men' out there. at least he has 'principles', however excessively strict they might be.

Oh yeah? My ancestors are bigger than yours, and there are more of them.

That could be your problem, not your mom's.

I mean, will you soon pull in fat paychecks?

well, let's see... most of our dates didn't require much money, because we both liked walking through public museums; we frequented a public forest and walked aroudn in it. and we didn't mind spending time and just watching the telly.

it got to the point where she would try to stop us from hanging out in the same neutral setting when she could.if a mutual friend had a gathering that she was to go to, she'd prohibit me from going.

now that i'm only a guest under her roof now, having moved out and gone to college, she's given me a lot more freedom.
