His face is close to the bathroom mirror，getting ready to pop a pimple(粉刺).“I told you not to do that，”I warn him. “It’ll leave scars on your face.” He doesn't say anything.No matter how much l warn him，that pimple still has to go.

“Did you call your mother back last night？”I ask，trying to change the subject.He nods，still concentrating on the pimple.I lean on the side of the door, hoping he’ll give me more details about his conversation with his mother.who lives in Korea.

I' ve come a long way to get where I am today.I did pretty well in high school and attended Harvard University.We met after I moved to New York City to accept an amazing job offer.Things couldn’t have been better，and I thought that I had the perfect life—until I found myself campaigning for his mother’s respect.

To remind him that I’m still waiting，I uncomfortably ask，“Did my name get mentioned？”He finally looks at me.‘‘Yeah，as usual，she asked if we’d broken up yet.’’For the past three years we’ve been dating，his mother has told him repeatedly to end our relationship because‘‘there are a lot of nice Korean girls’’ she wants him to meet. She complains that I have a career and that I had my own place. She detects flaws everywhere.

I have a career because I want to fulfill my dreams、not because I dislike raising a family.I got my own place because my job required me to move, not because I hated my family. As a Filipino—American born in the Philippines and raised in America，I haven’t forgotten the importance of family values and traditions.

Still concentrating on the pimple，he doesn’t notice how depressed I have become. I feel as if l’d become the pimple，only I’m receiving less attention each day.I walk quietly back to the bedroom and start packing my things.I loosen the beautiful ring on my finger and leave it on top of the bureau(梳妆台).I walk past the bathroom and out the door, locking it behind me.
