My mom does not approve of my relationship. What to do????
I'm with the LOVE of my life. We have been together for 1 year and 4 months. He takes care of me, makes sure I've got food to eat, is there for me when I need him. My mom has not met him yet but already disapproves of the relationship because we are living together with out being married yet. My mom is visiting this Christmas as she lives out of state. I told my mom that I would like her to meet my boyfriend but she is not ready to meet him because she is upset over us living together(without being married). My mom has always been big on her beliefs and wants the best for me. My boyfriend and I have talked about marriage and he wants to get me an engagement ring. How do I convince my mom to meet him when she doesn't approve of our relationship??? I feel like she doesn't want to give him a chance.
