so, ive been living with this boyfriend of mine for almost 3 years now.
and every time we meet anyone from his family or when he speaks with any of his brothers/mother/father/grandparents on the phone, they ALWAYS start to talk about me too - they ask how i am doing and am i still jobless. we have told them all countless times that i DO work, that i do many things, i make decent money, i just do it from home. we have come up with stories of freelance this and that, just almost every imaginable thing there is to be told about working from home. and still, THEY ALL think im not working. they insist i just sit at home and do nothing and live off that poor guy's money (yet i make more than he does). because of that i have decided i wont be meeting anyone from his family anymore. ive had enough of this polite smiling and telling that, you know, i actually work.
just a bit ago he spoke with his grandmother again and AGAIN he was telling her that i DO HAVE A JOB, have had it for years.
urgh its so annoying.

oh well, girl, laugh all the way to the bank!



I know that sucks, but they are not living your life. A lot of us here probably deal with some of the same thing. I know I have heard "Why don't you get a REAL job outside the house" "Do you really work?" "Damn how did you get money?" it is a pain in the ass. To the point where I distance myself from people who bug me like that.
