Hey there! I’m a 24-year-old woman, and I need some advice before I lose my mind or worse😀😀, my patience with people who think they know everything!
So, picture this: I was living with my sister, but she basically kicked me out because I was dating a guy who had just ended things with his baby mama. Her reason? “You deserve better.”
Anyway, my man came through like a budget superhero helped me get a small place and supported me until I got a job as a software developer. Then the plot thickened: he lost his job and moved in with me. So I became his sugar mama for a while. We love equality, right? 😀😀
When he got back on his feet, I told him I wanted my space back (we’re not married after all), and he was totally cool with it. He even promised we’d make things official someday. We’re still together, he visits often, and honestly? I feel loved, safe, and well-fed what more could a girl want?
But here's the drama: everyone and their cat thinks I can "do better." Some people even call him a loser. A loser! The man who brought me snacks when I was job-hunting! I start second-guessing myself whenever we go out—even though he walks around like he just won the lottery with me (which, to be fair, he kinda did).
Now throw in random aunties and friends asking, “So, when’s the wedding?” I haven’t even figured out what I want for lunch tomorrow, let alone plan a whole wedding! Also, my man is of Arabic descent and has a bit of skin discoloration from sun exposure, so people judge him based on looks too. I’ve been trying to hunt down skincare tips for him.
Yes, he has a bit of a temper when provoked but never with me. With me, he’s a teddy bear.
So tell me, am I making the right choices? How can I handle the judgment from others without always feeling upset or like I have to defend our relationship?
Help a girl out! 😅
