So...assume for a moment that you are a young, twenty year old male. Now assume that you have an older, wiser twenty-two year old guy that you are dating. You have your issues, but you know...that's pretty normal for relationships, right?
Okay, now assume that while your parents are...well one doesn't care, and the other pretty much disavows your existence. You are fairly okay with this. Has a lack of worrying about acceptance to it. However, you boyfriend's mother has decided that you have destroyed her son's life. That, well, he should get married to a girl, have babies, do...heterosexual lifestyle things, and otherwise tends to believe you have somehow manipulated him with every chance. This includes, of course, having him move from California to Maryland. Like you twisted his arm, or drugged his cola or something.
So...that said, how would you go about winning her over to your side? Partly because you have this thing against people not liking you, and partly because you know that if she'd just come around and accept things...your boyfriend would be happier, 'cos no matter what he says- you know he's miserable about this thing right now.
