I think this is one area where they're gonna have to learn to compromise. I know it's easier said than done...
*Which, knowing her parents, means it's more like impossible.*
You can't micromanage love. I mean, it's not like you're going to fall for an idiot. Any guy you date is going to be worthy of you. And hopefully, he'll be the confident type who doesn't mind your parents being difficult. Everyone's got difficult in-laws.
[She lets out a long, slow breath.] I'm not sure either of them knows the meaning of the word. It's amazing they're still married after all this time.
He'd have to be confident and willing to put up with their crap, and I don't know how many guys like that are out there. [Dating her wouldn't be easy, and part of her isn't entirely sure it's worth it. For her or for the hypothetical guy.]
For you? I think a guy would put up with a lot. Don't sell yourself short.
I guess at some point you just kind of have to tell your parents to fuck off. I mean, not literally, but you know. I'm sure as hell not introducing my parents to any of my boyfriends.
[She may not have a boyfriend, but she certainly has one of the best friends a girl could ask for.] Thank you, Saval...
You're right. I just know that even if I stopped talking to them, they'd still find ways to disrupt my life. And if they didn't like the guy I was dating, they'd find ways to disrupt my relationship. They're... a little insane, really.
