Low Blow

Every Wednesday my friend Jess and I take this class w/a dance company. In fact recently we've been asked to perform w/them and I'm uber excited but that's besides the point right now. Jess' mom & boyfriend was w/her that day. When we left rehearsal it was around 11ish and since I had to walk around bak Jess & her boyfriend offered to walk me around to the front. So we walked around front and I got into the car. My mom happened to notice that there was a guy w/Jess and being the usual nosey person she is she asked me who the guy was with Jess I mentioned it was her b/f. And I guess since Jess' mom hadn't come around the corner yet she assumed that he was there to pick her up. She responded by saying "Oh how nice I see Jess' b/f picks her up". Where I immediately responded, "Actually her mom is here for both of them"

The point is not that Jess b/f wasn't there to pick her up; the point is what my mom was hinting at. I'm not mad at my mom, I'm just mad at the situation because this keeps occurring. The truth is he's not perfect, I'm not perfect, no one is perfect but you accept things. It just makes me angry that people constantly doubt my choice in romantic partnering and never just accept the fact that hey maybe I'm happy. I'm so sick of having to defend my relationship to people. If they really wanted me to be happy they would open their eyes and realize that I am happy and they would support me in my choice to make this the person the object of my affections. Some of these people haven't even had a relationship for 1/2 as long as the one I am in and they feel the need to give me advice? Well here's my advice to you, look at me, see how happy I truly am, and be supportive...
