i haven't so much as brought a girl home to meet them in ages and they keep pestering me about the relationships i have in college. i don't want to have to explain to them what my sex life is like, it would only make them think of me as a bigger shithead than i already appear to be. even still, now they expect me to have some sort of consistent girlfriend coming out of college and i have no plans of the sort on my table. everyone in my family has either married or had kids young, and it's not on my schedule for another decade at minimum.
fuck thanksgiving.

Brotha, if there's one thing you're doing right it's the fact that you're not just off and getting hitched because of an expectation.
You obviously know all this, but if there's something that can never be said too much, it's the fact that it ain't right until it's right.. and forcing it is only going to make matters worse in the long run.
Let life take its course, and never make decisions based on someone else's expectations.
You and I, and most of us know this... but yea, it definitely does suck when your family looks at you as some kind of abberant because you haven't followed the pattern that defined their lives.
Truth is, I know I'd be a lot happier if I made my decisions based on what I want when it comes to decisions like that, and family, of all people, should be the first ones to respect that.
