Hey , I'm so sorry you r going thru this. Not seeing you on mother's day bc mother in law more important. Nonsense . Sounds like the gf is a chip off old block of mom. Sounds like sons gf is a well....brat. idk best advice other than talk to your soon about how you'd like to be with him more , or make plans to take walks, lunches , etc things that don't break the bank. Invite son and gf or if gf doesn't come just son. Start to do all you can to make effort to be with son away from this so he can make sure it's what he wants . You are his mother , you deserve to be held high

Re: Too Young
Also, you and your FI will likely do a lot of changing in college(or your early 20s in general if you aren't going to college). You're becoming adults and learning how to stand on your own. So even though you feel you "found yourself" in high school be ready to do some more self-discovering in your early 20s. This can be a tough time for a lot of young couples as they change together and sometimes grow apart.
Too true! I broke it off with my fiancé because we grew apart... Was it during college? Yes, but I think regardless of our life situation, we never learned how to communicate to be able to grow together. We were just happy doing our own thing, and never challenged our differences in opinion (also helped that we never lived together, I'm sure we would would've found a whole slew of things to disagree on then) Communication is the key IMO
It's funny that you mention that. I think one of the sadest things I have heard from my father and his wife is that they don't love each other every day, that there are days when she doesn't love him. When I think of it I give my stepmom the benefit of the doubt and try to believe what she really meant was that she always loves him, but isn't necessarily in love with him every day.
Either way though, it's a very sad thought to me. I've been in a relationship with my husband for 7+ years and every single day from the first day I have been madly in love with him. Angry, hurt, disappointed, or annoyed, I've have been blessed with the knowledge that he is all I could want for my whole life. It's so sad to me that some people may never feel this way or know with such certainty that they've made the right decision.
But you are right about people not thinking about the idea that some brides get married and don't start a family right away. Some of us get married for love, not to have a baby . . .
I think it's hard for her because she has a son my age who still lives at home and hasn't quite grown up.
I'm 19, he's 20. We're both in school. I'm over half way and he has one year left. And, we've both lived on our own for several years.
