"the rebellious failed son" cause you want to see your girlfriend lol. Sorry this could never be me but if you want to live under your parent's thumb for the rest of your life, go for it

As a man you’re supposed to start making these barriers between u and ur parents by 18 at the latest otherwise it comes down to situations like this

Dont be afraid to live your life, their views wont ever change

Bro are you serious? I had one GF almost living at our house when I was 22. She would stay over for weeks at a time. Literally I would be at class or work, my sister would be in highschool and my mom would be at work and she was watching netflix and s*** in my room.

Do you help with bills at all? I was helping my mom a lot so really there wasn't s*** she could tell me. She was mad at first and my mom and sister never even liked the girl (I dated her for like 5 years). If she was an aspiring lawyer my mom would have straight up pressed me to move in with her or have her move in with us.

You need to sit them down and let them understand that you are a grown man now. If you are paying for the trip with your own money there shouldn't be a problem.

Being 22 and having to even explain that to your parents is crazy. You a grown ass man, you can make your own decisions. Just do you tbh cause it’s not like they can do anything. They can’t force you to not see her or anything. Do yo thang, wishing you two the best.

Get her pregnant, this will send a strong message to your parents

so true — i think a lot of cultures don’t understand the nuances of certain asian cultures because they think it’s as simple as “just be independent and stop being a p****” when it doesn’t work like that for most families

but there are so many generational differences that people have to navigate through like op rn

my asian parents were so disapproving when one of our close family friends wanted to marry out of their culture but i think they’ve gotten better over the years

You in the LDS?

I got Nigerian parents so I can relate.

Only difference with me is the baby came before they knew anything so couldn't micro manage me😭😭

Nah can’t relate

Internet b****es are something else

Some of ya don't have foreign parents by the responses itt it's not that simple.

But yeah op just stand ur ground, they'll mostly get over it as time passes

Man if you don’t go hit that p**** !

Oh you still live with them. Hiding it for a year is commendable

You still live with your parents I’m guessing? Only reason I could see you having to even inform them that you’ll be out of town for a couple weeks

F*** it tho let them deal with it. The very definition of “you problem”. They need to figure out how to accept it cus it has nothing to do with you. You aren’t doing anything wrong.

And if you’ve already f***ed then you should let them know that to so they stop caring so much about it

They know actually and they're still just as anxious

This is embarassing

You're a grown man go be with your girl

I know indian parents can be crazy controlling of their kids even when they're grown. My indian friend was getting his masters and his parents still controlled when he was allowed to play video games

People saying you a grown man lol. If you still staying with your parents you still gotta follow their rules. If I still stayed with my parents and did stuff they were against they would just kick me out.

not everyone here is a White American living in the suburbs I‘m sorry

lil ass boy @op
