I have had girlfriends parents that have liked me and hated me.

Whats always fun is when one parent likes you and the other doesn't. Nothing
like causing fighting inside of a family about it.

Depends on the age of your GF. If you're a teenager, I'd just walk away since this is one battle you're not going to win. If you're an adult and she is too, you should talk to her in a non-combative tone and let her know that you care about her very much and would hate to have to walk away from the relationship because her mother is always meddling in your business.

Oh, one more question... Has her mom been divorced before? My ex's mom played a big part in us breaking up. She was divorced 3 times.

yeah her mom is divorced was married in her teens and then she became a nurse and married a doctor.

well im about to graduate from college - actually transferred colleges to be with my gf since her parents wouldnt let her go to northwestern which is a better school then the school i transferred to. now it seems like my gf is trying to please both her mom and me by siding with us both. the problem with this is that i cant handle anybody butting into my business, especially extremely ignorant people. ie she tries to call herself a pscyhologist due to all her life experiences and she sounds so dumb when she talks as she is completely wrong - im graduating with a bio and psych major and applying to med school this year and she says everything i say is completely wrong on the same issues. ALSO this is what really pissed me off. im not completely white and for the last 5 years her family who used to be in the KKK and herself make these vague comments hinting that im not white. this will be the 2nd relationship that my skin color has become an issue. but i guess they do say that "im the darkest that her family will tolerate" - i just keep telling myself that she is white trash. but i think im mostly with her since ive been with her for about 5 years now -


:Q Run. Now.

My ex-gf's parents hate me so much because the first time I saw them, I did not bring expensive gift, I am not driving a BMW and I don't own a business. That experience really really change my point of view to the other people my life We've been together for another 7 years but finally broke up.

My g/f's parents want to literally kill me.

My parent's love her more than they love me! ahah :)

if you're wondering why they want to kill me, it's because we are different races and they think I an corrupting her even though we've been together for 8+ years....long story...........................no time now.

My gf's parents hates me. They don't think I'm good enough for her since I don't make tons of money as compared to some other people that are interested in her (Doctors, pilots..etc). They told her to stop seeing me and to not even take my phone calls.

My only chance for their approval would be to buy them out! LOL

I think they're okay with me... unless they are holding a secret grudge against me since I asked her to marry me without their "blessing" first... ;)

Maybe its the part about you being married that you're gf's parents don't like. Or am I just reading that wrong?
