Dear people of divierto, I need your help/advice on something. So, a couple of months ago I started talking to and hanging out with this really cute guy, but about three weeks ago we started talking a lot more. And by a lot more I mean we've been texting and talking on the phone for about 12 hours a day every day. We're both just like... holy shit, we click SO WELL and we just keep getting more and more impressed with each other, but there's one catch: He's a marine and he's stationed 12 hours away from me so I only see him when he's down here to visit his family. He's driving down to see me this weekend and he doesn't want to make the trip back by himself, so we thought that maybe I could go with him and then take a bus back home (which he's offering to pay for), but my mom pretty much flipped shit at the idea. She hasn't spoken to me for three days. I'm an adult, I never get to do anything for myself, so would it really be a huge deal if I went to spend a week with him? I know him enough to know that he's a good guy and I don't think anything bad would come of this, but I don't know if I can put myself first and let myself be happy while my mom hates me. She's acting like she didn't date or spend time with guys when she was my age when I know she did. It's just... complete bullshit that she expects me to never get out and experience anything on my own. What would you do? Would you take the chance to go hang out with someone who could possibly end up being the greatest thing to ever happen to you, or would you miss out on the chance just to please your parents? I've got about five days to make up my mind and I don't know what to do.
