Love over family?

I'm in a tight spot at the moment.

I've known my bf for three years and we are inseparable. I love him and he clearly loves me. He even left his house and got his own place. He has a great job and he's very educated. Everything seems great right? Well, that's not my case.

My mom knew of our relationship and for some reason she suddenly decided to hate him. I know what the reason is, and that's what we call: religion and race

She wants me to leave him and be with someone they want me to be with. She even gave me two options. Either leave him or leave the family. It sucks alot cuz I've tried everything I could to get them to listen and understand me. They've made their mind and honestly I hate life right now. I love my family but I can not leave him. His family loves me and his sister and I are close friends. I'm 21 meaning old enough to know he difference between right and wrong but they don't see that. Someone please give me advice. I love my family to death but I don't know what to do

    So, the man you love or your manipulative, selfish family? I'd say to go with your guy. You're an adult and can make your own choices, which means your family has made theirs as well. Your mother has no right to guilt you into making such a choice, she sounds like an awful person.

    You can try talking to your sister who you are close with and see if she understands how unreasonable your mother is. She can't deny your sister contact with you if she thinks this is silly as well.
