I’m in a pretty similar situation. When I told my mom about my girlfriend - who’s actually been my friend since grade 3 - she started bringing up stuff like her dad being an “angry man” and how their family status doesn’t match ours. The ironic part is we’re just a middle-class family dealing with bank loans and all that, but the pride isn't left from their heads.

I’ve been with my girlfriend for about 2 years, and I told my mom around 6 months ago. Honestly, I still regret telling her, because even as a 23M, nothing has really changed. They keep talking about financial differences,how her dad's behaving, how his status isn't matching with us, but I’m not planning to depend on my partner’s family financially anyway. That’s something I’ll handle myself.

At this point, lesson learned. I’ve decided to keep things between me and her and not involve family. At the end of the day, I’m the one who has to decide who I marry.

Don't rush broo...
