Next month will markone year with my bf. Im 23 and he's a little younger, but that's not the issue.. the problem is im super close to my family and value their opinions, but my mom has come out and told me she hates my bf. It started in oct when he made a "white joke"about her. She got over it and he spent all of the holidays with us. He has been great, to me. I've been on bed rest for five months and he's stood by me patiently and loving, but he has this prob where he says the WORST things at the worst times and comes off a lil rude to her at times. It had gotten to where, with effort on her part, she was softening up to him and was even taking vday pics of us and joking but last night he made a comment about womeno in their 40s being old and she's 41so needless to say she was insulted an after catching himself he kinda kept going with his statement. So again she told me she hates him with everything in her and she's done trying that from now on when he comes over she's not going tone rude but she's not going to try either. We're talking about marriage and she knows he wants to marry me, but how can I bring her closer to him I need her approval to be happy right now I feel sick... help.
