At the very least my mom's obsession with keeping family issues private would keep her from voicing complaints infront of her. Doesn't matter I didn't go with that
Just told my mom, conclusion, as I predicted instant disapproval. Why? because I met her off the internet, well partly, the other part is they simply dont want someone else living here. By the way she talked it was clear even if it was my best friend that she has met and I knew for years, she would still say no. I of course countered by presenting a logical arguement that showed the error in her points and how there is ultimately no reasonable excuse to not let her.
But her being NT, not like she needs a reason beyond "because I said so"

yup, as well as their eventual acceptance. Dont get me wrong, I was being manipulative, disrespectful, and purposefully forced them into this. But I've been playing nice my whole life and for once, to be with her, I'll play the jerk
