Consider this that the more you dig in your heels the stronger her reaction is going to be. So, if you can, let her protesting go in one ear and out the other. Figure out for yourself the suitability of this man you have chosen to devote time to in your life.

Yes, well my mom is sort of the same. While she doesn’t ridicule his table manners (though if given the chance I feel she would) he was talking to me and cussed after a frustrating day at work and she just thought it was the rudest thing. I understand it’s not polite... but it’s just a word (he is also 32!?) so I don’t see the big deal. You are right though, trying to get her to like him seems like a lost cause and the more I mention him the more I want away from her. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mom but sometimes her opinions are so strong that they hard to take (especially when it involves me personally). Thank you for your response; sorry you’ve experienced a similar situation. I know it is not pleasant to deal with.
