There is nothing else but those two reasons that my parents are arguing with me about. He's not ugly, he's just not Tom Cruise. He may not have the best looking skin because he has a freckles and moles on this body, but he has checked those out at the doctor's and the doctors dont say they are a problem.
He's now in grad school studying for his PhD. He supports me with my career choice. Even though we're two hours apart he drives up to see me every weekend if he can. However my dad has unwelcomed him to our home.
His family all love me, and my parents wanted to use that as an excuse that his family didnt' like me either. However, I have pictures of me hanging on their fridge. My dad wants me to take down all the pictures with my bf in them in my own room.
Maybe I should just move out of the house. When I mention me moving out, they say it's because I dont love them and I dont have respect for them. That i'm wouldn't be a good daughter.
My parents are just so traditionally asian that it kind of drives me crazy.
Right now I have no way of arguing my way out of it because I really can't support myself. I've just graduated and looking for a job. I can't just go live with my bf because that's just taboo in asian culture if we're not married.
My parents just make it so hard for me to make my own choices because they make it sound like if I go and try to live my own life, they wont be there for me and support me. I'm not asking them to provide money for me, but just see me as a daughter and not completely disown me when I decide to up and leave the house.
I probably should just break up with my bf. Until I can get a job and move out. That'll probably solve all my problems. I just dont know how my bf would take that decision.
