Family Expectations
ARGGHHHHHH!!! My mom told my family back home that I have a serious boyfriend and she will be a young grandmother and they were talking about weddings and whether or not to do it here or there, etc. Right before she told them, she asked me if she should tell them i told her NO. but she did anyways cuz they were showing off that one of my second cousin is having an engagement party in a few weeks and blah blah....... so my mom wanted to show off. True me and my man do talk about weddings, but most couples do - that dont mean it will happen. I feel more pressure now!!! and the worst part is since my boyfriend is American he hasnt spoke with his family about marriage just that he is "serious" about me. Why does this matter? In our culture, the groom's family pay for wedding. Sometimes i feel like just breaking up with him to get rid of the pressure.
