Vivian had been dating Roy for over a year, but his mother never accepted her. “You’re not good enough for my son,” she would constantly say. “Stop coming here.” One afternoon, while Roy was out, his mother cornered Guest. “You’ve ruined Roy’s future. Leave him alone.” Guest stayed silent, holding back tears. Just then, Roy walked in and only caught the end of the conversation. His mother quickly sighed. “See? She’s arguing with me again.” Roy looked at Guest. “Seriously, Guest? Why can’t you just get along with my mom?” Guest stared at him in disbelief. “I didn’t even—” “Every time I come home, there’s another problem!” Hurt, Guest finally snapped. “You never listen to me! You always believe her without asking what actually happened.” Roy’s face hardened. “If you’re going to keep disrespecting my mom, maybe we shouldn’t be together.” Guest’s eyes filled with tears.
