Privacy is probably the biggest reason she doesn't want to live with your mother, but even more than that she wants her right to be the woman of the house. As long as you live with your mother she will never be able to run the household the way she wants to.

Totally agree with you, PhillyDreamer. Privacy is a big issue when a wife has to live with the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law still thinks of her son as her son,whereas, a wife sees the man as her husband. Also, in my situation, I'm a grown woman and have done things on my own and at times I don't need my mother-in-law to tell me how to do things. If I don't know how to do things I will ask for advice. Also, two women running a household is not easy for the man.

I have but one rule for my kids when they grow up. If they want to have a live in situation with their significant other, they will have to be established on their own. When I was living with my mom, the idea of having my girlfriend move in was embarrasing, even though my mom was accepting of it. I made it a point to get my own place as quickly as possible.

Maybe she doesn't want for your mother to go into your relationship or maybe your gf likes to be independent when you get married. Living with a mother in law might be difficult for her specially if she's not use to live with other people at home. I think she also like to keep the privacy within the marriage. And I think she also wants for you and her to live on your own separately from your mom or parents. How about you? Are you willing to live with her mom?

That is a good question, if he is willing to live with her mom. I wonder if he will answer.

Unless your girlfriend is on mylot too,you should be asking her for the answer to this question yourself...
Maybe she thinks you should be able to get your own place after getting married?

If you want to know why she doesn't like to live with your mother you have to ask her. Personally I would not like it. If I am married to someone he and I start a new life, a new family. We will live in our own house and do it our way. Without interfering from other family members. That is the normal way to do it. To live together, to find your own way, to raise your kids the way you like it or want it.
Getting adult means to say goodbye to your childhood, to your parents, to start on your own, being responsible for your own life, own expensives, paying your own bill. If you are not ready for that you better stay single and stay with your mom.

in fact, many girls do not want to live with their boyfriends' mothers. of course, there are many reasons, but i think the main reason is many girls want to have their own space and hourse to live and they only want to live with their boyfriends, the girls and their boyfriends' mothers always have a lot of problems and sometimes the problems are difficult to solve.
so i think the main reason is they want to have their own space and only want to live with their boyfriends.
you can talk with your girlfriends and know why she do not like living with your mother and maybe you can solve the problem.
good luck!

That is a common phenomenon in modern society. Sometimes it's a difficult problem for a girl to live with her mother-in-low, because she should get along with a women who isn't her mum as her mother. Although they will be memebers of one family subjectively, they are strangers to some extent objectively. There always are some mistakes between them because the different habbits , distinct characteristics, and diverse ideas, which may be solved perfectly between child and his own mother, however, hard to settle down between them. You should undertand her anxiety. If it is indispensable for you, you can persuade her by making her communicate with your mother more times, in which you must do your best to create a harmony relation.

I think that this is a very valid request. A man is supposed to leave his mother and cleave to his wife. The mother still remains as she was in her sons heart, but she needs to step back and let the wife,whom her son chose, fullfill her role in his life. A mother tends to be critical and protective often and can lead to the wife feeling that she isnt a good wife.

There are actually many reasons for such a decision and they are very personal. I am sure something could have happened with your g/f or between your mother and her. Rather than trying to guess the answers, I believe it would be wise for the both of you to talk.
I don't think you could move out and live on your own if you are the only child in your family. Because your parents will need to be taken care of when they come of age.

its normal^^ sorry for tell you this but all couples need some alone time. for sure she doesnt feel comfortable that your mother goes to live with you. she wants to start a life with you only. i wouldnt like also that if i got married that my husband's mom went to live with us. i want our time together^^ to go out and have fun. you can visit your mother at her house anytime you want. but i think she shouldnt live with you. your girlfriend is right^^

She probably wants you all there herself. Besides, it is not a healthy situation to still be living with your mother after you are married.

Maybe because your mother might think that you two will be dependent to her. Of course, when you get married, you have to live on your own and start a family. Plus, maybe she's thinking about privacy. Come to think of it, it'll be awkward to live with your spouse's parents.

I would have to guess that your girlfriend has a fear that her privacy will be invaded, I don't blame her to be honest. I could never live with my mother in law, I would constantly feel like she's judging me and I wouldn't be able to stand it, it could even ruin the relationship that they might potentially have if it's taken too far.

I'm facing this problem right now and still cannot figure out why. Before my marriage, when we want to engage, my father ask the girls if wants to marry with me, she must willing to stay with them, cause the house my parent staying at that time was given to me and only my father and mother live there, I my self on off cause outstation job. Upon agreement, we engaged. Later after marriage, when I left for outstation job, an hour later, my wife will go back to her mother's house and will never return to my house till I come back from outstation and pick her up from her mother's house. It's runs till now, sadly, now only my mother left after my father pass away few months ago, but still, my wife doesn't want to stay in my house although we already have 2 cute, brilliant kids.
I think she's lazy to stay there cause she has to help my mom looking at the house. Maybe she's happy with her family. For sure, my mom is not a bad mom. So, I don't know why, maybe it's fate.

You must understand your girlfriend.
Starting a married life with other family members around or under one roof is not easy.
Maybe later on your girlfriend will understand why you want to live with your mom.
But for the meantime, you must understand her.
I can say that, it's different when you start a married life separately and on your own.

This is such a little common thing to see. So maybe it's good for you to just make your mom live really near to you. And this is also convenient for you to jus take care of your mom. There will be gap between different generation, just need understanding.

living w/ sum1 whom you did not know for a long period of time is not easy...it requires major adjustments especially when it comes to living w/ your in-laws...we all know that we can't please everybody...maybe your girlfriend got a bad impression w/ your mother...or maybe she wants to live and raise your family on your own way.
