The reality of living with your lover’s family

It is the place you live, right? So why are you getting glared at for cuddling on the couch? Out with the family and there are two couples. My girlfriend and I and my girl’s sister and her boyfriend/fiance. Whose pda do you think is accepted by the mother? Go on take a guess. So, I not only have to deal with the already uncomfortable task of living two states away from my family, but I also get to feel bad for wanting to hold my girlfriend’s hand in the vicinity of her mother. Now, you’ll say, I should be considerate of her mother’s feelings, blah blah. My girlfriend has been out of the closet for oh… six years now… it’s time to move on, lady. Desensitize yourself for deity’s sake. I did mention her sister is getting married, right? She’s a year younger than me. Making her oh… twenty. I have the curiosity of any normal girl. I want to think about maybe having some sort of ceremony and really it’s just about the dress, come on now. This is my right! No, you know what the mother says when she finds out I thought about it? “It’s not legal in this state.” Well no shit, Sherlock. Thanks for playing. Considering if said ceremony is at some unforeseen date in the future, I and my girl will be picking up the tab… so input… not necessary. What do I know though?
There’s a big difference between tolerance and acceptance.
Be glad you have at least that though… however frustrating it may be. Some of us don’t even have that.
Oh and finding an apartment would be my first order of business.
Good luck!
