My parents always trusted my judgement and all they care about is if I'm happy. They don't expect or ask for anything. However we always let them know how much they are appreciated and all their good advice that as we get older it makes more sense.
I don't think I've ever known what my parents' expectations of my relationship(s) were. I thought my mom might've been a bit of a racist because of how she treated my first boyfriend (he's black), but thankfully it no longer seems to be an issue.
My mother... My mom didn't like how in handled my relationships until I bucked back an showed her that my partner will never be like her preppies partners/husbands. Her husbands weren't good to her like my joey is to me. I love him more everyday.
Lol idk yet
I've lost all of my family because they believe gossip over the truth
I think they could care less. They have my sister, their perfect daughter with the perfect hubby and soon to be perfect grandchild.
They went from not really caring to being so happy for me; that I found my soulmate Finally
Mom is happy that I am happy...no change
Over the course of a year they judged and tested her, over and over but now finally they are realizing that she isn't the person of rumor and whether they like it or not im in love with her.
Coulda helped that you wouldn't have told them I'm the bad guy

Actually I never said a bad word. Just expressed my frustrations. They hate u for rumors my family cooked up about you at a party and in Highschool. And the Sophie thing my mom lied about to my grandmother
