Yes, my parents feel that he wouldnt be able to provide for me in the future the way i should.. but havent i built up everything so far myself? I do understand that we will possibly need 2 incomes to support a family etc. in the future. They dont want me to struggle in the future.. i dont either to be honest, but im not struggling now, and they are making life very uneasy by butting in.. i know they are only looking out for me.. My dad came around, and realised that we are sensible people and that we love each other, and that maybe we will be ok. My mam has had other life experiences however over the years, and maybe that is swaying her a little.. I havent spoken to her properly in 5 weeks, and for me its very hard.. she wont listen until she breaks us up, and to be honest its on my mind all the time.. Its really affecting me, esp when my siblings are fine with it and really like him also. I dont know how to resolve things with her.. im stuck for words.. she's very stubborn, and its a case, that she's not talking to me, she is making me feel like ive dont something wrong, which i havent, is loving someone, and being in a happy relationship so wrong????

i agree with the expert relationship advice you got here...don't listen to your mom and do what you want to make yourself happy. you deserve to be happy. if she wants to be part of your life, she will come around.

unless, that is, you are unhappy because want a strong relationship with your mom back?
