Currently known my girlfriend for around two years, but didn’t start seriously dating till around 5-6 months ago. My question is that her parents come from prestige ( dad is a doctor, mom went to law school). GF is totally dependent on them for rent, school, etc. She recently told them about us and her mom flat out told her that if she continued seeing me they would cut her off completely. Said you can figure out to pay for rent and school... how can they do this without even knowing me not even meeting me? I love this girl and she loves me, what do I do?

Are they pajeets?
Whether or not you agree with the viewpoint, they've worked far too hard to have their legacy squandered by some mediocre guy. One generation is all it takes to pull this branch of their family tree down a social class level. They don't play by the same social rules that you do. For them, life is a contest and they intend to keep winning. There's very little chance that your girlfriend will have the nerve to defy that.
No, “Catholics”
Yeah, I mean it isn’t like I cant do everything that is asked as me as a man. I work full time, and I’m becoming a firefighter. Girlfriend has a year left of school, then is going to start looking at Occupational Therapy school.
I’ve worked hard my whole entire life, I’m a good guy. It just sucks that they havent even met me, don’t know who I am. Haven’t even seen me and their daughter together, don’t know the bond we have and how much I love her and how I’d do anything for her. How I want this life with her.
Actual unironic Catholic who takes the bar exam next week reporting in.
Jesus. How bad do you even look on paper that they'd go that nuts that fast? What are you, a nigger who self-identifies as Jewish and got an associates degree in Communications from the local community college? I know some of us can be a little obsessive about status, but that pace of escalation just seems bananas.
I guess a lot of it stems from second hand nature, for the first bit of knowing her i was in the Army. we weren’t “together” and I was fucking sluts and being an asshole to her hurting her but she always would drive two hours to come visit me and always put up with my shit. They also know I’ve been arrested before for a DUI that isn’t on my record.
I mean. What kinda Army are we talking here? Eternal e-dog who got out to "move on and do whatever", or Officer material using the chance to get educated and move on up in the world?
Her parents sound a little nutty, but if you're the former and she's a fancy Catholic on her way to/in grad school this is objectively probably not gonna work out desu senpai. If you're *really* in this, and *really* want to marry this girl and marry into her family? The upward mobility is gonna have to be there. It sounds harsh but that's real life.
>being an asshole to her hurting her but she always would drive two hours to come visit me and always put up with my shit. They also know I’ve been arrested before for a DUI that isn’t on my record.
Well no fucking shit, you're a degenerate. i wouldn't want you around my daughter either
“Was” and I’ll fully admit to not being then man I am today. I’ve grown and learned from the past. I’m a good guy now.
Got out and decided to try it out in the real world and enjoy my freedom.
That may be true, but they don't see that, and honestly, why should they? Not saying you're still a shithead, but i'm 28, and 99% of the time people do not change. I've learned that the hard way
I’m 22. Yeah but how can they ever see that without sitting me down and talking to me? Seeing how me and their daughter interact and love each other? Asking me about who am I and where I’m going? It’s just the blanket judgment and not giving me a chance to make an impression that frustrates me. I’m willing and ready to answer all questions and be open and honest with her parents.
You already gave them an impression. The impression was that you are a shithead. You'll have to work hard to change that. But from what they've already seen from you, you're bad news.
Yeah, I just want that chance to meet them. To show them who I really am you know.
Serious Question: What race are you?
Are they Hispanic?
I’m White. They are white
Tell her to tell her parents that you want to meet them. That you care deeply about their daughter and need to understand why they refuse.
How should I do that? I don’t have there phone number? Should I just show up at there doorstep? Contact them via social media? I feel like if I did this behind my girlfriends back it would be a violation of her trust.
I’ve told her before.
That's a vague desire, not a plan. Really driven/accomplished people are gonna see that as a red flag.
Whatever she said to them must have made them feel like they'd heard enough.
You know her, don't you? What would she have said? Would she give a good sales pitch, talk up your soldier's work-ethic and your GI bill opportunities? Or would she see that conversation as a chance to try to "put her foot down", and tell them that she wants this goddamn e-dog and there's nothing they can do about it?
Your girlfriend lived with them her entire life, just have her be the mediator lmao
Working full time for the city’s forestry department doing environmental conservation and taking down trees/trail restoration etc. Might pick another part time to add supplemental income. Currently in school to get my EMT, once that’s done. I’m going to do my Fire 1/2 and get on with a fire department.
I couldnt make out everything she said to her mother, she came home and was crying and broken down at the time. I feel, like she was making a sales pitch but then got shut down with her mother. She told me her mother always tries to live her life for her and make all her decisions for her. Talks at her and doesn't listen to her
I gotta admit, I'd be giving you the stinkeye too. You might win her parents over but it'll take time. Are you willing to try and call their bluff on their ultimatum to your gf -- knowing it may not be?
Well, let's be honest here, lad.
What you are describing does not sound good at all.
It's manual labor jobs that even illegal aliens can do.
Like, I would be probably even angrier then her parents are if my upper-class college-educated daughter got together with a dead beat loser like that. I'd probably hire someone to have him killed or something. But that's just me.
What do her parents do for a living? In before then are doctors and lawyers... Oh, wait that's what it says in the OP.
So... yeah.
Well, user.
Just tell your gf that you want to meet her parents in person and ask her to schedule a time when you are going to come over.
There is no way they are going to say no to that. It would be insane.
That's going to be your last chance. Use it wisely.
very well said.
