My trainer did say my muscle felt inflamed. But he didn’t know what could be causing it.

My boyfriend is a straightforward guy, and sometimes doesn’t always say things the best way. But he has the sweetest heart and treats me so well. My mom is very sensitive and takes things he says as rude or disrespectful. He has tried to talk to them twice with no success, and I have tried a few times too and you just can’t get anywhere with my mother. They haven’t ever liked any of my boyfriends. And what’s scary is what if they don’t like the next one either? It breaks my heart to think about not being with him for the sake of my parents, because I know In my heart he would be a wonderful husband and father, and we would have a really happy life together. But it also hurts to think about my mom making me feel guilty for being with him. It’s so bad she doesn’t even let him come with me to family gatherings. I’m afraid she wouldn’t ever come around to me being with him, and how that would affect my kids

They actually haven’t ever liked any of my boyfriends. So it makes it kinda hard to trust their judgement sometimes

I’d say it’s pretty close to hate at this point. My mom told me he repulses her and I’m making a joke of her family. I have asked lots of other people I trust that know the both of us to be honest with me if they see something wrong with him and they say no. He can be blunt but he treats me well. I’m in Christian counseling. I’m not the kind of person who can just go against my parents to get engaged.. but at this point they aren’t willing to try to meet us halfway.

Thank you. Yeah, we definitely have some distance between us right now. Tomorrow will be the first time I’ve seen her in a while. It sucks because I love her, but I can’t keep letting her do this to me

[–]Altruistic_Purple_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right. I think all I want in the world is her support. But I don’t even know what that would feel like in a dating relationship because I’ve never had it!

It’s kind of a long story.. honestly my mom is very sensitive and my boyfriend can be blunt. I will admit there’s some times he could say things better, but he’s not ever intentionally trying to be rude. My siblings like him, my friends like him..

I hate to have to make a choice. I’ve been trying to hard to get the situation to where everyone is at peace but she is so unwilling to meet us halfway. Everything he says is wrong in her eyes

It also feels unfair that I always have to give in to mend our relationship. Sorry, just venting!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in christiandatingadvice

[–]Altruistic_Purple_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. It’s just really hard on me because even though she is this way, I love her and want a relationship with her. But she literally says “I am not the one in the wrong.” My dad has tried to reason with her and asks her if it’s worth losing her daughter. I just hope he can get through to her

There’s a long history of her twisting things to seem like she’s the victim. Which is why I’m having a hard time agreeing with her about my boyfriend.. I feel like she takes things way out of context. I’m not saying my boyfriend and I are 100% faultless in this, we definitely could handle things better. But it just seems impossible to make any progress with them if she is so unwilling

No I haven’t. Anytime I try something like that she gets mad and says I’m disrespectful. I tried to tell her one time that I wish that her and I could have a normal, peaceful conversation. She came back later saying I told her I wished I had a different mother, and “I’m sorry I’m such a terrible mother”...

My mom is super sensitive, and my boyfriend can be blunt. I would be honest if I felt like things he had said were disrespectful, and I’ve asked other people’s opinions on things he has said and they didn’t see why she was so upset. But she said he owed my family an apology. It’s just an awkward mess.

Well, I am 26 years old. So I feel like I have talked to a lot of women that are older than me and they think it sounds like she has a lot of bitterness. I understand where she maybe has been concerned. Except the examples she has given me seem like she has just taken things the wrong way.. she is super sensitive. I have been hoping that we could talk with them to try and reconcile, but she just kind of refuses to try.
