My mom implied I was marrying for money and I felt like slapping her?

[Anonymous]

She has never worked a day in her life. She lives off of my dad's money. No proper education.

And yet she has the nerve to say something like that.

What would you do if you were me.

It's understandable to feel hurt and angry when someone makes hurtful or insulting comments, especially when it's someone close to you like your mother. However, it's important to remember that reacting with violence, such as slapping your mother, is not a healthy or appropriate way to address the situation.

Instead, you might consider talking to your mother calmly and directly about how her comment made you feel. Let her know that her comment was hurtful and insulting, and that you don't appreciate being accused of marrying for money. Try to keep the conversation focused on your feelings rather than attacking or blaming her.

It may also be helpful to set boundaries with your mother if she continues to make hurtful comments. Let her know that you won't tolerate being treated disrespectfully, and that you expect to be treated with kindness and respect. If necessary, you might consider limiting your contact with her or seeking support from a therapist or counselor to help you navigate your relationship with your mother.

Depends. Why would she say something like that? Is the man you’re marrying rich? Have you made certain statements that would allude one to think this?

I’m sure your mom misread the situation, but don’t approach her boiling with rage if you want to confront and correct her way of thinking. Be calm, tell your mom how upset it made you and how much it hurt for her to think your marriage would be something so shallow. There are still plenty of cultures where women have to marry to be successful, does she come from one of those cultures maybe? In which case, she just needs to adjust to the newer world and she’s just a byproduct of where she was raised. No ill intent was meant but that doesn’t mean what she said was okay

I'd say yup!! I'm swimming in cash why you have to beg LOL
But that's me.
You won't get far insulting someone with my character as I'd never marry solely off salary. As inget my own paper. YUCK

I don't get your answer lol but I can tell you're a funny person.

Time to distance yourself from mom! Maybe she is projecting herself into you.
Prove her wrong and get on with your life!

[Asker]

I cannot stand her. I am so furious that I am just in shock.

[Surely]

Do you still live with her?

[Surely]

If you do. You are pretty much stuck with listening to her!
