My entitled parents don't like my boyfriend simply because he isn't rich.

And they've even gone as far as saying that I'm going to be setting myself up for a life of financial struggle unless I dump them and move on.

And I'm now questioning everything about my life because right now I seriously don't know what to do.

Here's what happened.

and he will be paying half the bills. I really want to get some

better work-life balance because my mental health is not good. I recently confided in my mom about the
