Yes. My mother is very important and I need her to her along with this new woman who will be important. My mom is one of my best friends as well and I don't care that people might make fun of that. That's their problem.
But yes, my mom needs to like my future girlfriend or it won't work out.
I care to an extent. Sometimes my mother is a good judge of character, so I pay attention to what she might say about someone. My father sucks at that. On the other hand, my mother is very racist and classist, so I won't listen to her if she resents my partner because of something like that.
Yes I would. Her approval matters to me because she's nurtured me all my life. She knows what and who's good for me so her opinion on my partner would be really helpful in deciding our future.
No, she's very very judgmental and very stuck in her ways so is very unlikely to like anyone I go for because she will see them as taking me away from her and a bad person regardless of how she makes me feels and feels about me, so no, it isn't important to me
Not any more! I stopped telling her if I was dating a long time ago!! She is far too judgmental!! Her sister, my Aunt, seems to love all of the ladies I have ever let her meet!! Very loving, and welcoming! WTF with my mom?
Of course I care, but, I don’t need her approval in who my partner is going to be. If she liked him, great. If not, oh well. I don’t trust my mother’s opinion, her influence when I used to allow it has always been a destructive force in my life.
I have many partners that my mother didn't approve but as long as I'm happy she didn't get in the way of my relationship, she supports me and all my decisions

She doesn't have to approve of him but the fact that she does makes me really happy :)
When she was still alive, I was never given the impression that her approval is required. But she was (positively) 'interested' in who I am with - and appreciated to not be excluded.

I mean, I haven’t seen the bitch in over a decade, so it would be kinda weird if she showed up just to criticize my life choices.
My mother was a pill popping slut who got knocked up by my dad out of wedlock and I couldn't give two shits about her opinion on the women I date.
But don't take it the wrong way: I loved my mom and was devastated when she died at such a young age of 42.
I'm not that close with my mom, so I don't care what she thinks of him.

Reply to the update: Good going bud! You're on the good track. Stay happy both of ya

She did, but had questions about her family. And she was right, of course. She could read people fairly well.

Not really. I need to ve my own person and be with i need to be. It would be nice if she did but i wouldn't care.
Good luck bro. We are rootin for you.

Nope. I don't give a f. But I DO care if her family approves of me.
I don't care if my mom approves. My husband is not the same race as her, and she is very upset. But my life is not hers.
Not really. It would be nice, of course, but I don't need someone else's approval of my decisions. I mean, what makes my mother the expert?
It means everything to me if my mum likes my partner or not... She's always been right about the 'bad' ones.
Hey Lavinnykins, mind if I PM you a personal question?
@EmbraceThePain Sorry, only just seen this now but of course you can message me!
Thank you, just follow me for a bit.
Yes, because she is my family and I love and respect her. If she sees something I don't, I wanna know.

no, I live in a different country than her so no issues :D
