This is my new boyfriend, Mike-Isn't he a cutie?!
He came to our house for Thanksgiving. My parents thought he was the sweetest guy ever. He's been going to church with my brother for a few months. He got baptized. My dad gave a talk at his baptism. He was so impressed with his spirit.
I told my parents that I asked him out.
They flipped. All of a sudden...they think he's so wrong for me. Why? I have absolutely no clue on this Earth. He's a good Mormon boy. He's SO excited about the church! He's been reading the scriptures and and praying and he can't stop talking about how great the gospel is. Its been the only thing on his mind. He's smart. He's ambitious. He's going to be become a lawyer. He just barely turned twenty and he and his best friend already own a house. Can you...see anything wrong with him at all? Cause I sure can't. I cannot fathom why my parents feel that their world is crashing down because I am dating the most amazing boy I've ever met.
I don't remember the last time I was so confused about my parent's actions. Most of the time, I can kinda see where they're coming from. But this time...no. The only way I can deal with it is to hope to not care. But my mother won't accept that. No. She'll try to rope us into coming over to the house more. She'll be so hurt that she didn't act fake and supportive to begin with. Well, she didn't. Thats her bad, not mine. We'll never feel comfortable coming over to the house, and my relationship with my parents will never be the same, regardless of what happens. This is the most insane thing I've ever heard. This should not be that big of a deal.
She's inviting him over to dinner on Sunday. Yeah. Won't THAT be a treat. POOR GUY! He's going to be sitting with my parents, who ALL OF A SUDDEN have a HUGE distaste for him, doing everything he can to build himself up in their eyes. How is that fair to him? My GOSH! He doesn't deserve that! If anyone can't see how amazingly incredible he is then they don't deserve to be in his company. Maybe he's too nice of a guy to turn their invitation down, but when I come back home, I'm never going to want to go to my parent's house with him. How can I be comfortable around them knowing how disappointed and unhappy they are with our relationship? I can't. I don't want to see them. I don't want to see my sister. I don't want to go near that house. He's my best friend. They're not trying to give him a chance, so why should I give them one?
I hate them for not giving me the opportunity to revel in how happy I am with my new boyfriend. He's awesome! He's responsible, he's gentlemanly, he's sweeter than any guy I ever thought I deserved, he's intelligent, he's ambitious, he wants whats best for me, and he's so excited about the gospel! There's nothing else on this EARTH I could ask for! I want him, I am so happy that I somehow managed to have him, and I intend on keeping him for as long as I possibly can.
I am very disappointed in my parents. They let me down. I don't understand my father. I never will.
