reader, anonymous, writes (31 May 2008): If he loves you, and if he is a mature man with strength of character, this should make no difference. His mother dosen't like you, fine, that's her problem not yours. If he loves you his mothers opinion, fathers opinion, second cousins, the opinion of his school friends husband down the road shouldn't matter. He can either be with you, stay alone or marry someone else.
Your behaviour with his family has been exemplary. You have ignored their childish behaviour and been pleasant and polite. Continue to act this way and you will be in a strong position when it comes to his mother convincing him that you are no good and he should not marry you. He's her little boy, she dosen't want to loose him, not to you, not to any woman, she dosen't want him to grow up. He has two choices, he can either grow up and become a little man or remain her little boy for ever. This you can do nothing about, it's his choice, and unfortuanately his life.
