we aren’t married yet but our families have met and have discussed marriage. The problem is, his family acts nice and loving infront of people but to me they are very cold in person. His mother is too attached to him, he doesn’t have a dad and is the only son. He says he cannot move out and has to live with his mother as she is a single mom. I love him dearly but I cannot live with his mother as she has been very rude to me before. He has taken a stand for me and she stopped being that way but I never got an apology from her and I can feel it in my bones that she despises me even more now. I have never disrespected her or harmed her. But I don’t want to try to please her anymore when I know she dislikes me and I cannot forgive her for the way she behaved with me before. My boyfriend is a lovely man, I want to be with him but at the same time I don’t want to be with his mother and he isn’t willing to leave his mother which is understandable given his circumstances. He doesn’t really understand how its effecting me and he thinks that just because she doesn’t provoke me anymore the problem is solved. Men, if I was your daughter or sister, what would you advise me to do? I’m 25. submitted by /u/Patient-Fix3581
