I (F21) moved in with my boyfriend a while ago and it didn’t go well with my parents (they are toxic, especially my mother). They don’t approve of him yet he takes care of me so well. We have an opportunity to open our own business and wanted to rent a place near YCK (my parent are living in Jurong) but when I mentioned it they got so mad and they don’t approve of what career I have chosen for myself (nail technician).

I’m scared that when I tell them they would try to talk me out of it and try to force me to move back to them and I’m scared I will lose my relationship with them and that it can’t be fixed again.
How do I tell them without them being disappointed in me or anyone getting badly hurt?
Here is what netizens think:
- I would be concerned if my daughter wanted to be a nail technician as well. cause it does not exactly make much, but since you say u are opening a business. I only can wish you well
- Where you live, would it give you enough money to live on, if you were single? I’m not saying that you and your partner will necessarily break up, but people get sick, businesses close etc
- If you and he are comfortable with the financial situation, that’s your business, not theirs or anyone else’s. But if you want them to “approve”, do make sure that you can at least make ends meet.
- What would be the least desirable scenario for you- your parents cutting off contact, or not being able to be with your boyfriend? If your parents insist that you give up their plan for you, what will you say to them? I would know your answer to that decision before you talk to them, if you’re fairly certain that it’s a possibility.
