i dont know if they consider me "part of the family" were talking about getting married. dont know if we even have enough money to do so though. we kinda figure, if were going to be together no matter what, we might as well reap the benefits of actually being married y'know? not very romantic, but neither am i lol. so i think they already consider me part of the family. his mom is nice but his dad i think just feels threatened by a strong, independent woman who doesnt do anything and everything for my boyfriend. he questions everything i do (and everything my boyfriend does). nothing is ever good enough for him. he treats jay (my boyfriend) like he is 5 years old. he changed his major (going back for a 2nd bachelors) for like the 3rd time. i told him thats fine, he needs to figure out what he loves. i dont want him graduating again with another degree he doesnt like. but his dad just asks "well why dont you do this, why didnt you do this" and eventually i told jay "you have to stand up to him!" and he did i guess. his dad has let up a little bit but for the most part, he is very controlling and even more stubborn. sorry for the long post lol
