My boyfriend met my mother several times. The first time, he said something nice, but he seemed to say nicer things about the other people in my family that he met. After a few times of meeting her, he told me he still thinks she is nice, but he talked about habits she has that bother him, such as talking over him.

My mom can be judgmental and superficial, but I have no problem standing up for myself when needed to. But we are close, and she probably does not realize what she is doing. Should I kindly point out this tendency she has, not tell her that he said anything, so that she can work on this? Or should I just let it go? He brought it up several times, so I wonder if it is worth trying to fix, or maybe he can just accept this about her, as he is willing to overlook it.

Thanks in advance
