I have good parents but i live about 7 hours away so I see them like 3-4 times a year. I have a good relationship with my mom but she drives me absolutely nuts most of the time so I keep it pretty much just surface level stuff with her.
I’m bout to ask her what her problem is with my SO cause I can’t really figure it out. But her opinion makes me question whether or not I really wanna keep dating the chick.

I had this happen to me, and the one thing she picked out to hate was something I couldn’t change anyway. At first I was very upset. Then I realized she was a miserable and unhappy person and it wasn’t my job to make her happy. Also, that I wasn’t in a relationship with her. That helped.

Have you been fricking the females in you family? Are you from Alabama and you brought a different cousin to Christmas? Now the other women are jealous?

I do, two actually. One of them started dating a super sweet girl in high school .. here they are, college grads getting married in right under 2 weeks. We accepted her day one .. she's really a fantastic person and we're very happy for both of them. For this mom, zero jealousy .. except for the cool wedding gifts lol.
To the OP .. get your familys reasons as to why they don't like her .. choose for yourself to stay with her or break up with her but evaluate the "why" before deciding.

Your mom is always gonna have an issue with who you date. This is a mom issue not a girlfriend issue. If you are serious about this girl then your mom should only want one thing, you to be happy. Unless this chick is a drug addict or alcoholic then what could your mom dislike other than it’s not her your dating. I have been in the receiving end of the mom of the son not likening me and it’s awful. I have a son and I refuse to ever treat a girl or my son the way I have been treated. It’s awful and super selfish.

Same. But my son is a huge mama's boy and I had to be prepared to be replaced. And I was. As it should be.
Had my first grandbaby this year
What LL and tiga said. All of it. Unless there are major red flags in her behavior they should be happy for you.

She’s your mom, she wants to still be your mom, and be the controlling influence; but when you marry, you move on…. Your wife is the new family…You let family come between you and your girl, it won’t last long at all. If your girl is worth anything, she will not like being usurped by another woman on any level. Time to choose

Hold off on your decision to find out why her opinion is what it is.

I get wanting your mom to like her but if you truly like her (which apparently you don't if your second guessing) then who cares what your mommy think's, Unless your 13.

What sort of man allows his mother to dictate his romantic decisions? Good God. Make up your own mind.

MS it's SO hard ... we helped him move to Houston at the end of September for a new job. The fiance rode home with us .. when she left my house, I gave her a hug and just said "thank you for loving my son". We were both in tears at that point.
I'm not great at sharing some things .. BUT I'm really trying hard! And grandbabies I pray will be along at some point.

My son is 2 (and a mommas boy) so clearly I have a LONGGGGG way to go but I know one day I’m gonna be replaced and that’s ok. I hope I have shown him how to take care of a girl and love her more than me. I’ll feel like I did my job if he does that. But the girl better not frick with my son. Then I may lose my shite.

A few things:
Your mom sounds shitty for being snide to a girl who traveled 7 hours and sacrificed holiday time with her own family to be with yours.
You sound immature for allowing the above to happen then letting it make you question whether you should be with her. There may be good reasons for you to question the relationship. Your mother being a bitch for seemingly no good reason is not one of them.
Whether you want to be with this girl, move back to BR or whatever is immaterial to this issue. You and your family both need to understand you are your own man and are making your own choices. Even if this one isn’t the one you marry, your mom needs to know it’s out of bounds so this issue doesn’t arise with other women, future kids, or anything else.

My DIL is a great person. She treats my son very well so I am so grateful for that.
But my son works all the time and she takes my grandbaby to her mom's (the other grandma) to visit
I do see him a good bit also though.

I'm glad I've never had to deal with this. I think my family was just excited I brought home a woman and not some big gay bear I met in the woods.

It’s also 100% why she’s saying things. She’s trying to make him doubt. It’s a really awful thing to go through. I’m glad my family has always been open and accepting of anyone my brother or I have brought home. Even if they weren’t 100% sure they treated them wonderfully. It sucks to have someone you just met, who is a parent to someone important to you, not even try to act like an adult and throw basically a hissy fit to your face.
