Question - (22 May 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 22 May 2007)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Yes I have been with my girlfriend for 3 years this month and I really enjoy everthing about her when she doesn't hold back. We enjoy the same things and really enjoy each others company when nothing is hanging over our heads.There is some problems in that her parents and mine do not get along as well as she believes hers is right and does not like my mother as well. I do beleive my mother was wrong and said hurtful things but it was at a very hurtful time in my families life in the loss of her husband(my father). Her mother has also did some things as well. Should things be resolved? Also her mother has always kept her sheltered and she has never even been shopping by herself and she is in her mid-twenties. She is a very controlling person and I am afraid her daughter will do the same and I cannot deal with that. Is there any things I can do? All advice welcome

DV1 agony auntIt shouldn't really matter whether your parents like each other or not. They're not involved in the relationship. Just because someone's parents are one way doesn't mean that you should expect the same from your partner. If you love her, have faith in her, and try to see the best in her.

nicola79 agony auntwell you must love your gf otherwise you wouldnt have hung around for so long. just because your familys dont get on that shouldnt be a real big problem for the 2 of you.

i dont think you should worry too much about her turning into her mum,we are all individuals and that thought probebly never even crossed her mind.

do you have a good relationship? if so dont worry,you will both be fine ok.

dont try to fix something that isnt broke.

i wish you all the best. nicola.xxxxxxxx
