My girlfriend's aunt about possibly planning wedding to my girlfriend's mom. We are 33 years old, but why would it matter to her mom at our age? And my girlfriend's mom is overreacting to our special time. Also, we're waiting for the right time to tell her mom. My girlfriend's dad already knows, and approves.

When my husband and I announced our engagement, his mother cried.
These were not tears of joy, I was completely dumb founded. |

Isn't she the same mom, that doesn't allow her daughter, out of her sight?
I remember, my mom and I bonding over wedding planning. It's a time, in a woman's life, where her mom sees her having grown into a woman and is taking on a new family, in her husband. I am just baffled, as to why she wouldn't see this as a joyous occasion. |

It's an awful feeling when someone you love or respect doesn't approve or support your decisions.
I can't tell you how to get there or what to do but the goal should be if you're happy, making the right decision (to the best of your knowledge and experiences) and being true to yourselves....the rest will fall into place. Maybe you could try being very direct and asking why your shared happiness is not approved? I'm guilty of spending too much time trying to understand opinions of others and end up putting their opinions and views before my own....denying myself of my own wants and happiness.....best of luck

OK but her mom was the last one to find out. But her mom doesn't understand how we did things posting it on Facebook. We were just got caught up in the moment. And my girlfriend 's mom is like a brick wall talk to.

Sounds like - for whateever reason- the mother does not approve of you at all.
Sorry. She also does not seem to respect the decisions of her son, and sounds selfish. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
