    You didn’t fuck up.

    She fucked up.

    Surely you could blame it on your mom. But it was not your mom, or you. It was her.

    Ultimately it was her who decided to “honor” some stupid bullshit promise. She is an adult.

    If the love of my life shows up, and her parents say “promise us you will never date her,” and she says “but I love you!” FUCK THE PARENTS. I’m marrying that woman. She didn’t say “fuck Cheradenine’s mom,” welp, that’s on her.

    Plus you did the right thing with the drunken part. I’ve been in your position. I don’t take advantage of impaired people.

    I hope you’re a happy individual nowadays.

    Exactly! I have a friend who said a similar thing to his daughter, who came to him crying because her friends said she was not American enough because she wasn’t white. My friend said “you’re top of the class, excellent at sports, well spoken, well educated and very friendly and polite. They try to attack you for the sake of doing it, they try to find something bad about you, and they get nothing. So what do they resort to? Skin color!” (and yeah, I know this is about language, but it’s pretty much in line with your comment.)

    No one (except maybe intelligence agencies) breaks in to a house by picking a lock, especially in the US. Windows, weak door frames, and, in a pinch, making a hole in the wall are all faster ways of getting in.

    It reminds me of a friend who visited me from Colombia (we grew up together down south.) We were walking around a neighborhood in Vermont. He said “I’d love it if we had houses like this one in Bogota. Why don’t we?!” And I replied “Because they’d be broken into in two seconds.”
