Well, the "moving out" conversation went better than expected. There was no yelling
When I told her she just sat there for a while, then she said, "You're making a mistake." She's bothered that I would want to spend my time with someone who is poor. She said, "but you're so pretty, you could marry a lawyer!" Odd, I didn't know that I needed to marry a rich man to be happy. I'm a little offended at the insinuation that I would need to marry someone rich in order to survive. I can't understand what I've ever done in my life that would show that I needed to leach off of someone else or that I needed to be taken care of.
Is it possible to love someone who is "beneath you?" I think so, and I don't think it should make a difference.

Oooo! That's okay, Sina. She'll get used to it. It is your life and not hers, after all. Why does she think that you aren't capable of taking care of yourself? I mean you don't have to marry a lawyer to have a "rich" life. You and Tom have the greatest relationship and she just better deal with it. You two've been going out now for how long? Two years now, right?

XP (Lawyer, *pbbbbbtttttttthhhhhhh*!

Bleah. But that does seem like the kind of thing that your mom spurts out without thinking about what she's saying, doesn't it?

You and Tom will be fine and I'm always rooting for you! (Don't hesitate to call or email me!
