:smt081 Since when?? If anything you minimize what WW go through and maximize what BW go through...which is nothing by comparison.
She's 19. Likely in college. If she chooses the bf and Dad kicks her out and cuts her off and then the bf ditches her, too, she's in a bit of a mess. The point is, it's not an easy decision to make when you're young and still somewhat dependent on your parents. If you've never been in that situation, you don't know what it's like. Had I made that choice at her age, my parents would've likely threatened the same. They cut me off for awhile because I was having sex with my boyfriend. I went to live with my guardians until I got a job and found a cheap apartment.
I have been in that situation before with 2 family members and I did just as I described she could do. It might be a bit of s culture shock but I don't think it's unrealistic to expect someone her age to go to school and support herself. My parents didn't pay a dime of my schooling or my living expenses. I've paid for my own cars, insurance, phones, gas, etc since I was 16 and started working. Sure she could have it easier if she abided by daddy's rules but she'd be compromising her beliefs for financial gain and to me, that would NEVER be worth it. Maybe she's more flexible with her morals, maybe this whole "letter" is fake lol, I'm just stating my opinion of how I'd handle it.
I did the same thing. If we can do it, she can do it. And by compromising, her chances of being happy decrease a lot.
Universally absolutely not. This ain't the 50s hell its not even the 80s. Besides historically ww weren't the ones catching hell it was more than likely the bm and they would say the ww was raped.
If you have read my posts. I said a long time ago ww catch hell and you are saying its not hell to go thru that. Is that what you are saying? In other words bear the cross. Do you understand that? So are you saying ww don't face racism for dating ir
http://www.whitewomenblackmen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27361 This happened and you forgot. The ww here told you in this forum not too long ago that they were called nigger lover and ect...did you forget that? Again the victim measuring stick
That's fine if you're financially prepared. To suddenly have that support yanked from you without first securing employment and a place to live is foolish. And "two family members" is different than Mom and Dad unless they raised you. Even now, I could tell most of my family to go pound sand and not feel even a twitch of reservation. But it wouldn't be that simple to just write off my parents if they couldn't accept my choice. It wouldn't change my choice, it just would hurt more to know we would always have that chasm between us.
Absolutely agreed. :freehug: It would make me sad for a minute but ultimately it would've been THEIR choice to disown me, not me writing them off. I get your point, I'm just different I guess.
No. She had to make a choice she probably didn't want to make, but I definitely don't see her "catching hell". We're all faced with some tough decisions in life but the way I look at this is that it was ultimately her fathers decision, not hers. All she has to do is stand up for her beliefs (which if she's fully vested, shouldn't be difficult for her to do).
Catching hell means she was getting grief or stress from a situation. In this case she was getting grief from her parents (if this was a true story)
We all deal with stress. Doesn't mean we're catching hell each day. You and I just see this differently. No biggy
