Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. So me and my girlfriend

met online. I grew up in Michigan. She lived in Tennessee. And when we initially started dating,

you know, I told her I'm not just going to cave and move to Tennessee. I don't want you to just

cave and go to Michigan. We'll kind of try each state out and, you know, make a decision from there.

And she mentioned that her family has about 40 acres of land in Tennessee. And, you know, I like

Tennessee. It's not my favorite place in the world. But, you know, it's not a bad spot. And she mentioned

that her mom gives everybody, you know, an acre of land when it, when the relationship starts to get

serious. And, you know, we've been land when it, when the relationship starts to get serious. And,

you know, we've been dating just under two years now. The problem is recently, you know,

her mom has been interjecting herself in our relationship, you know, trying to make decisions for

us, you know, kind of going behind my back and essentially kind of trying to convince my girlfriend,

not necessarily to dump me,

but questioning every decision I make.

And it's gotta gotten to the point

where she's budding in our finances,

and she's kind of weaponizing that and saying,

hey, I'm not gonna give you this acre of land.

I don't like the way you do this or the way you do that. And when me and my girlfriend talked about it recently, I just kind of said, you know, ultimately, if that's how it's going to be, I don't know if we want it. Like, I don't like, you know, starting such a major decision, especially when we're building a house or buying a house somewhere under an ultimatum, given how old are you?

So I'm about 25 years old. I just turned 25. What do you do for a living? I'm a DevOps engineer.

And how much do you make? I make about six figures and my girlfriend makes about 60 grand here.

So what have you done that made this lady dislike you or think that you're not good for her daughter?

So when I moved here initially, so I work from home, right?
