Can a disapproving mother in law destroy our relationship?

Question - (21 October 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 22 October 2012)
A female South Africa age 41-50, anonymous writes:

The first time I met my mother in-law as I was about to greet her by shaking, she refused to shake mine. I was so devastated as she was So cold to me. My huge problem is that I love my her son an we are planning a future together, as we speak we've just bought a house together. My family says because my mother in-law doesn't like me so our relationship is going to fail. I'm so worried cause there's nothing that I can do for her to love me. I haven't done anything wrong to her but she just chose to think I'm not good enough for her son. Can our love survive this ordeal. Do mother in-laws have a power to destroy a relationship if they don't think you are good enough for their son. We've been together for 7 years with my boyfriend and don't wish to lose him. How can I prevent this?

janniepeg agony auntIf your boyfriend is so afraid of his mother that he has to appease her by not marrying you, then of course it will. I belong to the indifferent category, and will only date people who are emancipated from having to please their parents. I can be polite and caring with in laws, but if for some reason the in laws are cold and don't want much contact I am fine with that too.
