“She also told me very specifically that she wanted to be the one to handle her problems with my mom,” he recalled.
Anyway, he was fine with that, and they went to the family gathering together. Everything was going really well, too, until he sat down to drink a beer with one of his cousins and heard his mom start yelling.
He immediately booked it toward all of the commotion and found his mom arguing with Mia. Once he walked in, his girlfriend spotted him, too.
And while Mia told him to stay out of it, he could tell that she was trying hard to hold back tears.
So, he tried to contain himself. But after his mom asked what he saw in “some floozy,” he could not sit back and watch anymore.
Instead, he stepped in– and got into a pretty heated back-and-forth argument with his mom.
Eventually, this fight ended with him giving his mom an ultimatum– either she accepts the fact he loves Mia and treats his girlfriend with respect, or he goes no contact.
His mom still has not given him an answer to his ultimatum, though. And once he dropped that bomb, he and Mia decided to leave and get a hotel room for the rest of the trip.
But as soon as they got in the car to drive away, his girlfriend was actually really angry with him. Apparently, Mia claimed that his mom did not respect her because she was never given a chance to fight her own battles.
However, he pointed out how his girlfriend couldn’t just expect him not to get involved when she was so upset.
Still, it appears that he and Mia just do not see eye to eye because tensions have been high ever since they got home.
