Wait... what??? Why the eff did you have 'a lot of explaining to do'? Needless to say???

I'm so truly disgusted by this.
Parents are supposed to do right by their offspring, not actively hurt their interests. It sounds like your parents are preaching that relationships and sex are shameful or something to be guilty about.

I'd give the kid a break; he's from Singapore -- I can tell you for a fact that the majority of parents there do believe exactly that way. ^
The upper classes might be a bit more liberal, though I could be wrong.
Seems unbelievable, but even that generation of parents are almost Puritan in their outlook to sex and relationships. It's like they'd expect a fiancé(e) to magically pop into your life at 25 and tie the knot with a few years later, full stop.

There's a reason why Singaporean dudes are the epitome of betatude. The enormous Hollywood pervasiveness makes them terribly blue-pill too.

As for your mum...
