I have seen 30+ people on this board that act less mature then 12 year olds.

And THAT... is why I said "very hard" rather than "impossible" to get maturity from a 22 yr old. There are exceptions, and I left the door open for that. However, if what you are saying is true, then you are an exceptional 23 yr old. Of course supporting yourself doesn't necessarily speak to your maturity as far as how to treat the woman in your life.
In this case, a real man would have picked up Angeleyes and taken her along to his family Christmas, in spite of his mother's attitude. A real man would have made it clear to mommy that Angel was his woman and that's that. Period. At the first sign of trouble, a real man would have left with Angel and left his mommy standing there feeling stupid for opening her mouth. A real man knows that mommy comes first as long as mommy knows how to be respectful of his choice in a girlfriend.
Cheers.
