Warm Up

So, my Mom doesn't like my boyfriend.

I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year. She never warmed up to him and has mentioned often how I should try to find another man. I admit that we do argue from time to time and things aren't always peachy, but then again couples fight and that is normal. She just doesn't think he is the right person for me.

She really has no reason to dislike him. He treats me well. He is successful. He is friendly, nice, funny, handsome and strong. He takes good care of me and it is obvious that he loves me a lot. So I don't understand why she doesn't like him.

It's fine to have that opinion but it is also exhausting to hear it over and over again. I love him. I have no plans to break up with him anytime soon. We have a strong relationship. I enjoy being with him because I am so happy when I am around him. So it hurts my feeling when she mentions that she wants me to find another boyfriend and to give up on him. I want her to be supportive and happy that I am finally happy.

It hurts also that she loves my brother's girlfriend and my sister's fiance. I wish I understood it. I don't. A part of me doesn't want to concern myself with her or anyone's opinion. It is what I feel that is important. And I know that I haven't been happier than I am now. It would just be nice for her to include him and be supportive.
