who should you choose? your family or the one you love? its been hard for me cause i am here in the US and my bf is in the PI and my mom wants me to break up with him. She is more of a materialistic type. I am hating it. I love my bf so much to just give him up like that. What should I do?

First, what's a PI? Next when you say materialistic, do you mean in "marry a man with money so you can take care of me" materialistic? or "I want you to marry a man who has the means to take care of you so your arent on the street starving in 6 months" materialistic? You dont say how long you two have known eachother, what period of time you have physically been together, days, weeks, months, for visits? or if you've never met and it's all online? And if you're questioning the aspects of your relationship with your boyfriend beyond what your mother wants you to do (and most mothers do this, so you're not in unknown territory) then perhaps you should be listening to the reason centers of your brain as to why questions need to be asked as opposed to its a done deal with no questions.

PI, the Philippines..we've been together for 2 years now...materialistic, like, you have to marry someone who is on my level rather than marry someone who can take care of me and make sure i'll be okay my whole life. You know, instead of making me feel to like someone who'll be with me forever and making sure im okay, she makes me feel i have to marry someone on the level. yah know what i mean?!
