Mom vs. Boyfriend

Hi.

 

I have been so miserable for the past 4 months. My mom just hates my boyfriend. He and I were friends 10 years ago and then ran into eachother and hit it off about 6 months ago. My mom seemed fine with it at first until she realized it was serious. See, I live with her and my 9 year old son and I think she might feel threatened by the new situation. I just want her to be nice to him!

 

She says she can't stand him, but won't give a reason why. He is a very loving and giving man. I am not sure how to keep the peace. It is very hard to deal with her comments, faces, and opinions. Also, I want him to come over and help me with my house, but I feel uncomfortable with the two of them being in the same room!

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this? It is breaking my heart.

Not knowing your mom or your bf it is hard to give advice. Think to yourself, is your mother usually a rational person? Has her "mother's intuition" proven true in the past? What about the boyfriend? Do you know him well? Do you get along with his friends/family? If you think about it deep down you most likely know who you have a stronger connection with.

I'm not suggesting breaking up. You would regret it. You need to have a heart to heart with each of them individually or at least your mom and tell them how this is hurting you. If they love you they will be willing to accept the people you love.
