I met my boyfriend in college and we’ve been together for 5 years now. His parents like me. And mine like him(seem to). My father is always supportive of my decisions.
But my mom keeps insulting, criticising my boyfriend every chance she gets. Mentioning every time that she could’ve found someone better for me.
My boyfriend is a resident doctor, extremely loving, no bad habits, nothing. But every person has a few flaws. And she keeps pointing them, mostly his financial status (which is good btw. Just not the billionaire kind) and that he’ll have to start a hospital or job, etc without a family medical background. Sometimes to a level that I go in SELF DOUBT. Whether I’ll ever be happy or content with him and then I feel guilty for thinking that. It’s extremely frustrating since I’m living with her currently post covid preparing for my entrance exam.
I don’t know what to do. No matter how much anger and hurt I show her, she does it again in a day or two. I can’t tell my boyfriend because I don’t want him to think negative of my mom.
I’ve seen moms who adore their son-in-laws. They’re such good friends. And it saddens me a lot that I won’t have it. Please advise.
