Im 23 years old and my boyfriend is a year older then me. We have been dating for 5 years now- my parents like him. I live at home with my parents b/c I live in a very expensive city and I'm attending a very expensive university that is close by (doing my MBA). I work two jobs- dont ask my parents for a cent... but they do pay for my education.
My boyfriend and I every so often go away for the weekend (nothing extravagent). I used to lie to my parents about who I was with (would say I was with my girlfriends) just bc I didnt want them to envision that I was going away w/ him soley to have sex. Which isnt true- its nice every so often to get away and a lot of times we go with other couples.
Recently I have been honest and would tell my mother (not my father lol my mom calls the shots in our household) that my bf would be coming along. I understand my mother is conservative & religious (Catholic) and she would say things to me like "your not going to get married if you do these things w/ him now" OR "why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?" OR "nice girls dont do that"... I dont have the heart to say "Mom we arent going to have sex!" ..its fun just to get away for a couple days and have a change of scenery.
My bf and I plan to get engaged when I finish school. He too just finished school about a year ago- so we want to save and be financially stable w/ good jobs!
I just dont understand this- I'm not doing it in her house! Its to the point when I come home from these weekends away she will say things like "did you have FUN?" *sarcasm* .... or "I cant look at you right now" or if I tell her about something we did/ saw (i.e we went on this wine tour or we went white water rafting) shes responds "your disgusting I dont want to know!"
Geesh! How do I handle this?
