Do you have ANY idea why his mother dislikes you so? What started it? Had you met her before she started saying hateful things?

I can see why he's torn. He doesn't want to alienate his mother, but he doesn't want to lose you either. He just doesn't know WHAT to do. He SHOULD respectfully say to his Mom that his life is his own, and who he sees SHOULD be his own business! And he'd appreciate it if she would stay out of that part of his life. I'm sure when his Mom met his Dad, she didn't want anyone messing THAT up either! So she ought to give him a break. On the other hand, you shouldn't have disrespected his mother, regardless of what was being said --- even though she sounds like a hateful person. Just ignoring her would probably have been the best, as hard as that would have been to do. Maybe an apology would be in order? You might have to cross your fingers while you say it. LOL

If you're both in college, you both have a lot of pressure right now. Give each other some space and don't put so much pressure on each other. You don't have to analyze the relationship so much -- just let it happen! Have FUN -- don't make it such an ordeal! No one wants to sit down and TALK about it all the time.

Best of luck & take care of each other. God bless. Hugs, Lee
