I'm sorry, in what way are you independent?  It seems to me you are completely dependent on your parents and are looking for some way to assert yourself, but instead of taking responsibility for yourself you're lording it over your loser boyfriend.

How about...  move back to where you're from, get a job, dump the moron and make some better choices?  Because you're moving down a slippery slope and need to deal with the real issue; by taking control of your life, you might actually learn to respect yourself and end up with a worthwhile guy.


   My parents wanted me to get a higher education. I'm fourtunate enough to come from a family that is well off, and they wanted to pay for my school and concentrate on getting a doctorate (which I am working towards). I go home in the summer and I work full time, whatever money I make I save and use it for when I go back to school so I can pay for some stuff like groceries, textbooks and gas so my parents aren't paying for EVERYTHING.

Yeah...  like I said, how exactly are you independent?  I'm pretty sure most people will agree with me when I say being independent is largely related to paying your way and making your own choices, neither of which you are doing.  Having the responsibility of saving money to pay for SOME things while your parents foot the rest of the bills is not independence.  It's "thank goodness mommy and daddy take care of me".

You were right on how you sound in this post.  If I met you and heard you saying these things, I'd tell you to get your act together and take responsibility for your life.  Right now you're depending on everyone for what is essentially everything, right down to coming on JJB to have us make choices for you.  I doubt I stand alone when I say you'll stay with this guy and make no changes whatsoever.
