Thanks for all the replies so far guys... it really helps to read other people's thoughts.

In answer to some of the questions above... I am 22 and still live at home but have been saving over the past 2 years to finally move out... so moving away is something that has been on the agenda for quite some time now. I am just waiting for the right time to be able to do it and be completely financially self-sufficient. I have a stable job, and can support myself.. but have been waiting for the right time (renting or buying propery here in Sydney is terrible!).

I agree that moving away is probably the best option. After all, I have been old enough not to have to put up with such negativity for a while now.

I have already made plans to move overseas to Japan in early 2009 to further my international cinema studies... and while it gives me the right amount of time between now and then to get myself sorted financially (and job wise), it might not be soon enough given this dog of a situation I am in. I guess I have to think long and hard about it a little more.

BTW, how does her family feel about you? I've a lot of Chinese friends and, while they're parents happy with them having non-Chinese friends and partners, they're usually expected to marry another Chinese.

They are very happy with me. They let me go over as often as I want and invite me to many family outings. I asked my girl if her folks were okay with me and she told me that they prefer me much more to the asian dude she dated before me.... surprising but very comforting. I just wish I could offer my girl the same hospitality at my house... but we are fine me spending most of my time at hers.
