My boyfriend told his grandmother we are seriously talking about getting married. She apparently said I "need to get a job and me should live together" before we get engaged. She was supposedly very angry. My boyfriend told her she can make suggestions but it is his decision.
I have a college degree, and I'm a graduate student in counseling psychology. I'm working right now as an (unpaid) intern. I'm getting my masters in 5 months. Any advice on what to say to this woman?

Yack,
She doesn't sound reasonable. You have a very bright future. Wow -- I had no idea that people of an older generation would be thinking younger people should live together first. There always has to be at least one fly in the ointment. Hugs, EJ |

I probably will just ignore her.
