What should I do if my mom doesn't trust the guy I like?

She doesn't trust him nor I don't think she will trust him. He wants to win her trust and her acceptance. I just sometimes think I should forget about him and move on if my mom won't trust him.

She's probably right lol, moms are almost always right , but it doesn't mean you have to leave him because of her. Whatever he is , it's your time to take risks, to make mistakes, to fall in love,to learn. You're old enough , not a little kid anymore.

just because she would've made my life hell
it wasn't a bad decision
BUT
You need to do you /as they say

@SW-User She told me that she thinks he is a womanizer. I really don't think so. He has always been honest about everything.

@hopeespe Honesty isn't openness

If you think your mom has some good insight you should listen to her and decide for yourself. If you think she is prejudiced in some way you should not.

@Elegy She's not telling me to back away, she tells me what she thinks. She thinks he is a womanizer and will play with me. But, I honestly do not believe that. From all the past experiences, he is the first I don't have that kind of insecurity with.

Trust your mom but trust yourself.

Maybe you should be cautious with the guy

@Shaman I am cautious. But I believe that when my parents give me advise, they want me to follow it as an obligation. Not a suggestion.

Shaman · 26-30

@hopeespe Of course they do. Most parents think they own their child. I don't suggest you broke up just because your mother says so. Just be weary. :)

Don't let he control your relationships, even if she gives you wise advice. She is of a different generation than you are. If it is your heart that finds love with him, your mom can't change how that feels
