<human>: My gf and I have been dating for 4.5 years now. We are both in college, and we are looking for a place to live in for the next school year. Since we are always at each other's place anyway, we considered getting a place together. It is also significantly cheaper for us to live together than each of us getting our own place. We both decided to talk to each of our parents and while her parents were ok with us living together my mother was not. My mother is very stubborn and difficult to reason with. She does not want us living together because she believes I cannot take care of myself and therefore I shouldn't be living with someone else. she is also afraid of what'll happen if we were to break up. She basically forbid me from going against her will and live with my gf. 

Now, my gf is mad at me since I have decided to comply with my mother's wishes in order to prevent a huge fight with my mother. It would be nice to live with my gf, but I do not want my relationship with my mother to be negatively affected. 

What should I do?

Just for your information, my college education is not funded at all by mother. I take care of everything with the help of financial aid.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
