My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and 2 months & he is the only child.. we both have full time jobs and work our asses off, and we barely see each other the days we are both off we hang out, have fun, catch up on sleep and I love it,  I would not change it for anything in this world.. but his family (holy hell) they are i don't know how to say it but jealous to the max.. the days we see each other (his mom especially) make it the impossible to change his mind to not be with me and it's infuriating i barely get to be with him :(

The few times we've gone to his moms house she always throws it in my face on how educated all her neices are and how well they live their lives, she's also gone as far as making comments about my weight That if I lost at least 10 pounds I would look good standing next to her son..  and honestly it makes me feel like shit.. Im greatful for my small career that my family was able to give me, my weight? Shit I'm sorry I'm not going to starve my self for someone's approval... he loves me for me, I worked hard for my small "shitty"(to her standards)associates degree.. i bust my ass working 8-10 hour shifts so that I can prove to anyone that I can provide for my self... and I'm sorry I'm not your "ideal" future daughter in law your son loves me for me.. and him standing up for me telling you to "deal with it b/c she is the future mother of my kids" y'all have no idea how that makes me feel.. 

I know I have my flaws, but when he is with me, he makes me feel perfect, complete, when I'm in his arms and we are cuddled up I feel safe and that absolutely nothing wrong can harm me, he makes me feel beautiful every single day. He always takes care of me on the times I've gotten real sick at the hospital, I'm terrified of needles and he would always hold my hand and say "dont cry my princess" and kisses it.. 

& if all that isn't love then I don't know what is..
