Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to break down and cry because his mother hates me for unknown reasons. I walked in, gave him a long hug, and started sobbing. I then saw his mother. She was visiting him to complain about how terrible a person I am. FML

Today, I went to see my boyfriend with the intention of breaking up with him. Instead I discovered that he lost his job today and has to move back in with his parents. I can't bring myself to dump someone who's already crying about his horrible day. Now I have to comfort my soon-to-be ex. FML
Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me. I tried to hide my sadness from my mom. She still noticed, and tried to cheer me up. She took me to a funeral. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were visiting his parents. When we got there, I hugged his mother, and she glared at me. Later that day, I heard her telling her son that he should leave me because I smell like cigarettes, and she hates smokers. I don't smoke, my boyfriend does. He did all the way there. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me and left me crying in the street. I then got a text from my mom saying how pathetic my love life was. Apparently, it was a mass text message and she accidentally added me to the list. FML

So you planned to break down? I can see how his mother might think you're a horrible person...

Right, as you said for "unknown reasons" I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you haven't talked or brought this up with her. Maybe, instead of crying to your bf about it, you try talking to the mum in a mature manner. Even if you can't solve the problem of her hating you, you might be able to come up with a solution that means you don't have to interact with her too much and that you can both be civil too each other when you do. Also, whilst your bf needs to be aware of how his mum treats you affects you, it also probably doesn't make things easy on him to listen to both of you complain about the other.

your probably prettier than her and she's jealous. been there and done that you really can't come between a guy and his mom unless he hates her guts.

Yes, I'm sure that's the problem. You sound like a self-absorbed bitch.

My boyfriend's mother hates me, too. Her loss!

I'm sure she hates you for a reason. Normally parents don't just hate the boyfriend/girlfriend of their son/daughter for absolutely no reason.

Yes they do. They see it as losing their child to another person. They don't want to let their child go. These are the same parents that are overprotective and shelter their children instead of raising them to be self-sufficient adults. I'm not saying the one in the post is like that, but I know from plenty of experience that SOME parents are.

Most mens moms don't like the girlfriend and try to break you up, your taking their son from them, you are just going to have to be nice to her and hope she comes around. until you prove that your worthy you aren't going to deserve her son in her eyes...ps the sobbing thing prob had a negative effect, don't bring your boyfriend in the middle you will lose

If she loses, better now than later. You don't want to fight a battle with your bf's mom forever. If he's a mommas boy, things need to come to head now instead of later. If they get married, he's going to start a life with his wife, and have children... a family of his own. He needs to choose what he wants. Nobody likes a momma's boy.

Um, I don't think the sobbing thing was negative. It is HIS mother, not hers. He needs to at least be there for her. I would be furious with my dad if he tried to break my boyfriend and I up. Not cool. Yes, it includes him. She is sticking her nose in his life and not allowing him to make his own decisions. Sure, she can share her opinion, once. But that's it. Her son is an adult. She needs to treat him like one!
