You said it yourselfe. You mother doesn't have a high opinion of your ex. Maybe there is a reason? People on the outside always see what people on the inside do not.

OMG Can you repeat that and repeat that until everyone gets that?!

Depends on why your Mom feels as she does about your use to be Ex.
why does she not like him?? Whats his history?

She may be wrong but she may be right!?

But it is always best to just tell the truth.. straight up

Sometimes the truth is a painfull thing. I think it is important to talk to your mom in a loving manner about where your heart lies. I would think that your mother would appreciate the truth and would support your wishes and would want you to be happy...Be safe and enjoy life

You asked for advice. You didn't say you wanted advice only from Mothers or fertile people. I have been your age. You have not been my age. I have also been your daughter's age and if my Mom was away from me for two weeks I would have sensed a problem somewhere. I have seen children all screwed up from choices their single parents have made. I will say with every fiber of my being that if you and this character were married there wouldn't be half as much of the breaking up, changing jobs, shipping children to other states, fear of what your Mom is going to say and think. Make a commitment to each other and watch the respect you get from everyone! I'm only trying to help you and my ability or inability to breed has nothing to do with wanting to be nice.

I'm in Florida today...my daughter is just fine as I knew that she would be. I've sat down and talked to my mother. Even though she is not happy with my decision she is still going to be supportive of them and has made the promise to keep her negative opinions to herself.

Glad to hear that.

Wow. This sounds so terribly familiar to me. I'm sure she is a loyal Mom. It's important that she make clear her feelings because that is part of the support. Same is true with a good friend.

I'm delighted that all will be well now. Funny how mothers can sometimes judge their daughter's boyfriend and be so wrong about it.

Your obligation is to your daughter. She is the only one that you should be looking out for first. She is not your mother's child. Are you sure you're not just trying to dump her on your mother so that you can be free to be single. And what family are you looking out for if you sent your daughter to your mother ?

You might want to read more of her posts. You will see that she sent her daughter ahead to FL to make it easier to pack, etc.

You mean we're actually supposed to READ the other posts???
