'Beneath You'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
as my dad obviously believes he can just convince my brother to break up with his girlfriend of three-and-a-half years because it's not our culture.
Awww, denial is fascinating. Your poor brother. On the other hand, he's had a girlfriend for the last three and a half years so he's doing okay.
Wait. Not only can he not have a (white devil) girlfriend, he can't have pets?! I mean, I know there are cultures that consider "animals in the house" a wacky idea, and I get that, but... if someone wants pets, what's the BFD?

OMG TRAIN WRECK.
Oh lord. Best wishes for your brother, and I'm so glad you have each others backs. But is it wrong that my first thought was that now anytime your mom starts in on you you can be all "I'M NOT THE ONE WITH THE SHE-DEVIL".
Not only can he not have a (white devil) girlfriend, he can't have pets?!
Maybe it's a bargaining thing. Like "Okay, even though we don't really like it, you can keep the pets. See how nice we're being? Now ditch the girl!"
Or maybe he's trying to make a "cats and dogs living together" analogy?

He's certainly done better than I have.

I think it's part of the "focus on your studies" program.

The thing is, I may lie about having known about it, but I'm not going to pretend I feel the same way about it as they do. One time my mom told me about someone who had married a Punjabi girl, and I was like, "So?" and she was like, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'SO?'???"

Unfortunately, the pets belong to the girl! Well, I don't know about the cat. I just learned about that one today.

Haaaaaaaaaaa ha ha.
One time my mom told me about someone who had married a Punjabi girl, and I was like, "So?" and she was like, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'SO?'???"So. I'm not a bigot. These things don't matter. We all bleed the same blood (well, within blood types and all). Damn. there went that argument.
I hope your brother wears a wire and records that talk. It could be a nice recon for your future.
ION- I will sit on the "lonely hearts bench" with Sean and the rest. Sucks being lonely. But hey, thankfully masturbation is still legal!
Things Scrappy, Steph, Windsparrow, Bev and any number of other Buffistas have said have kept me going through the years.

Nah, go ahead and nut up. You knew, you didn't tell them, you knew they'd freak the everlovingfuck out and you were right.
The band-aid is off. They probably can't get any worse than this and if they can goody for them. Time for the Patel boys to take off the gloves... well, keep off the gloves.
