My mom and I are fighting because she doesn’t approve of my new boyfriend. What should I do?

0

I have been dating my boyfriend Lucas for about 3 months now, and I am definitely in love with him. He is the perfect guy for me, but my mom somehow can’t see that. Its very frustrating, and I want her to support my relationship with him, but I also am not willing to just find someone else that she DOES approve of.

At this point it is better to just look at both sides and make a logical decision based on what things will be like for your future. Your mom seems like she only wants the best for you. Maybe the thought isn't being seen eye to eye but she has her heart in the right place. Honestly look at your position now and evaluate how things are going to work out and whether or not you can really see a future with this guy..Ask yourself , can you see a future with him and a future without him. If you can see one without him , it is pretty obvious that you don't think it will last forever. Acceptance is really important for family..I'm not saying dump your boyfriend for no reason. But to really talk it out and figure out why she dislikes him and see if you can sort things out or even fix it. If not, try to see it from a different point of view and see if it worth the chance to find someone that your mom will at least have more a liking to.

How old are you? Advice will be completely different based on whether you are an adult or a teenager. If you're a teenager, you can't do much about what your mother thinks or says, but you should explain your reasoning for "loving" him and perhaps make sure that they get to know each other better. If you're an adult, you need to focus on making the best decisions for yourself and leave your mother out of it.

think of priorities and having a positive balance.
