Well, some of you may remember my previous posts, most probably don't.
I am in a very interesting rut. I am a graduate student (23) who will be starting my full-time job as a software developer this January. My girlfriend (21) is finishing her undergraduate degree this May, and then she will live with me (most likely).
My mother has discovered that my girlfriend will be "shacking up" with me several hours ago, and has gone ape shit. There has already been slight drama in the past between my mom and girlfriend, check my earlier topics and you'll see what I mean.
Anyhow, my mother/father bought a property off of me that would cost exactly my tuition. They did this to help me, obviously, but since this situation has arose, one of the manny voice messages left states that I will need to cover the cost of Graduate School myself, as well as the down payment for my new apartment that they told me they would cover.
This... is kind of uncool, but **** it, a month of my salary (or month and a half) I will be able to pay for my semesters tuition up front... so I won't actually bitch.
Additionally, I was told to not come back home (Japan) for Christmas, since I am a disgrace to the family, etc....
My mom has sent my girlfriend a message, demanding she gives my mom her parent's contact information (for which my mom will then explain the situation, and try to have my girlfriends parents reprimand her). What, the, hell, we are supposedly adults! >_<
...*sigh*
I think I am mostly just ranting, but I want to see what other people think about my situation, am I in the wrong? Is it wrong for me to think, "I am an adult now, I can make my life decisions (such as who I want to date/marry) for myself"... or should I be factoring how my parents feel more?
And even more importantly, I will be pretty broke up until January 15th. January 15th I will get my sign-on bonus and first paycheck. My credit is kind of shitty.
My tuition is $20,000. By the end of February, I will have made enough to cover my tuition. Despite my poor credit will I be able to establish a bank loan that I will pay off before March?
Thank you very much, my night has been going ****ing aweeeeesome!
