No one is perfect, we all have our faults. Before I finished reading your post I had a preconceived idea that your mother was seeing something negative in this man that you are not, however if she’s never met him or had a conversation with him I don’t see how she can form an opinion.
It sounds very much like you need to put a little distance between yourself and your mother. (As a parent of adult children, this is very difficult for me to say). Someone that has that much of a negative impact on your life isn’t good.
If you’d like to keep your mother in your life, I’d say “mom, you and Will are both very important to me, I’d like you to get to know him. Let’s go for dinner.” After she meets him, if she’s still negative without a single reason, tell her you’re sorry that she feels that way about him, because you find him to be a wonderful human being.
