if your bf's mother doesn't like you and your bf had told you that his mom doesn't want him getting involve with you and that she doesn't want anything to do with you..you stated your point as like.."why do you keep on repeating things i already know, its a fact your mom doesn't like me..so, what what now? it could be instinct i know your mom doesn't like me..oh well, her impression not mine..my fault not hers" do you think there's something wrong with the phrase? your opinions needed friends..what would you do if this was you?

If your bf is a mommy's boy, sooner or later you'll have to kick him because he will be no good. So, on one hand it is not worth investing in him. On the other hand, he might grow someday and leave Mom - but this is not frequent. It also depends what the Mom doesn't like in you - or maybe she just doesn't like the fact that she has a girlfriend?

its hard..they belong on a chinese community where in we know their cultures wanting the same species/race..but do you think there's something wrong with the phrase for the bf to react 10 times the usual reaction?

I don't know. :( I have no much experience with intercultural relations but if they insist that he goes out with somebody from their nationality, I think it requires a lot of strength from him to resist the pressure. But maybe you can say that the world is going multinational, so there is nothing wrong with couples from mixed nationalities. Honestly, I don't know what to tell you. :)

i would carefully look at my own relationship with the guy, and his relationship with his mother. will he be able to balance the two relationships knowing his mother doesn't like you? will you be able to do the same? would this be a case of the "medling mother in law"? would he be able to love you fully despite his mothers feelings? it can be very difficult being in a relationship with a man whose mother is against the relationship, are u up for it????

do you think there's something wrong with the phrase..is there some sorry needed to be spoken for it? i know for a fact that in this situation it will be very hard to commit on it..but i'm looking for a precise answer if only the guy is reacting double the initial reaction..sensitive in his case or there is really something wrong with the phrase spoken.

Love is an issue for the two love birds and true love doesnt have eyes or ears for third party interferences-anybody trying to tell your heart to love something or someone else is playing dangerouslyly with your life. A cruel kith and kin is that who wants you not to go after your heart's wish. It doesnt matter whether that is your father or mother. Of course we still subscribe to some cultural values where parents have the exclusive right to determine who their childen should marry or relate with, this is only fair if the person they proscribe is acceptable to the son/daughter in question-if not, then imposing such an individual onto the son/daughter for marriage is very unfair. About the phrase you are insisting that we make a comment on,I will reiterate the Gf's view that the BF doesnt need to be wasting time repeating the obvious-he should instead embark on a battle to claim what his heart desires at all costs. The girl's anger about him repeating the obvious is justified-at times like this, the two should be fighting to tear down any barriers calculated to sperate them-if the two are indeed in deep love, then I would be pleased to see them do every thing in their powers, I dont care if they treaded the path of the Romeo and Juliet, after all, where is the joy of living a thousand years without the joy of your heart besides you?

deep..but everything you had said just stating the whole truth..your opinions are very much open minded..your right, i also believe that the irk just came out because the bf is opposing for repeating the same hurtful word "you know my mom doesn't like you do you?" so its understandable the gf will gonna get upset..but in the end your right..what would be the sense of living if your fully unhappy because you didn't follow what makes you happy when your heart is already stating it..

Ive been in these situations before. And it didnt turn out good. She hated me and made sure her feelings were known. Just try to ignore it and dont let it bother you. If you really want to see where this relationship is going to go just dont think about it. And believe me i know its hard. But like someone said if hes a momma's boy it might not last long. Good luck and i hope it works out for you.
