Im 23, asian and have been with my bf for 2 and half years now. I met his parents straight away and we got on really well. But now the question of marraige has come up, me and my bf have agreed that we want to get financially stable and get married in about 1-2 years time. We now want to tell the rest of the family to make it official. We have spoke to my parents and they have given there blessings and really like my bf but his mum has said that she needs to tink about it? Im really confused!!! This is a love marriage not arranged and we want her blessings (his dad is cool with it)!!! I really don't no what to make of this...any ideas???? Thanx
Well, at least she didn't have a strong immediate reaction. If she's not sure how she feels, it's good that she's willing to just consider it a bit. Or, she might just be yanking your chain. Either way, the best thing to do is stay calm and go about your business. She'll tell you how she feels in due time. Right now, there's nothing to react to, so don't react.
Whats to think about, if you love each other what she thinks has nothing to do with it. I know you don't want to upset her but she needs to let her son live his life how and with who he wants and if she makes that difficult it will only be her that loses out in the end.
You shouldnt be worried. his mom probobaly is just not ready to "let go" of her son. It doesnt mean she doesnt like you. She obviously just needs some time to think about it and get used to it because (just like for you) this will be a big change in her life. So, she just wants to make the right descision for you and ur bf! Good luck and congrats!!
