Posted: 11/27/2005 5:26:11 PM | i was dating a guy for a few months.. we got along very well .. he cared for me alot...
when i went to meet his parents it was on his birthday.... i brought them a bottle of wine, and made him a cake.. went full out... he lives a few hrs away so i stayed with them for a few days.. i had to sleep in my own room accrosss the house on a differnt level.. well after i left i didnt hear from him for 3 days... which is weird cause i usually talk to him for 3 hrs a day..
so when he did call he said he was very disapointed in me, that i didnt "impress" his parents.. they were upset i didnt leave them a thank you card, but a 80$ bottle of wine says crap i guess... and they didnt like the way i ate.. and that i fell asleep on the couch with him....
so anyways.. he broke it off with me.. cause his family means the world to him....
and i say good riddens!!! | |

Posted: 11/27/2005 6:39:51 PM | For whatever reason I tend to get along swimmingly with mothers... but do horribly with fathers.
I gotta say... and this is about as shallow as shallow gets... I once went with a girl, who I liked, and was attracted to... until I met her mother.
Her mother was perfectly nice to me... but... well, this is the shallow part... I could see the resemblance... between mother and daughter... and how, with time the daughter would grow to look like the mother did now... which was.... well, certain features... idiosyncracies... that were probably part of why I was attracted to the girl... were given new 'signifigance' once I saw them reflected on the mother's face.
In the end it just haunted me so much that there was nothing I could do... once certain thoughts... certain pictures... enter your mind, well, that's all folks... | |

Posted: 11/27/2005 9:29:12 PM | | I have only had one relationship that ended due to a parent and the 2 biggest issues were something I could never change, which is my race and the other I wouldn't change, my religious background. Ultimately, I was never going to be "accepted" and it put too much of a strain on the relationship. | |

Posted: 11/27/2005 11:40:51 PM | | OMG I spent 2 1/2 years with a guy and his family was so anal they wouldnt let me warm up to them, even though I tried every warm tactic I could, cooking them dinner etc. I am still not sure why they didnt like me very much, I never did anything to them. Every time I went over to their place I was afraid to say anything or do anything. It was like I was walking on thin ice. I can still feel their piercing evil glaring looks. "Shivers" | |

Posted: 11/28/2005 5:29:35 PM | One time I spent almost an entire evening of listening to this guy's father tell me how I defiled my body with tattoos, and that if he was MY father he would've beat these "obvious" rebel characteristics out of me. Plus the guy I was seeing didn't stand up for me AT ALL. He just sat there staring at his food listening to his father treat his girlfriend like dirt. Needless to say I broke up with him that night and gave his father a piece of my "rebel" mind.  | |

Posted: 11/28/2005 10:28:37 PM | Something about her father being the guy I cussed out in the parking lot a few days beforehand really set a bad tone.
He's still wrong. That was my bloody parking spot. | |

Posted: 11/28/2005 10:43:17 PM | My boyfriends always seem to practically fall in love with my mom. It's weird. She is still in contact with numerous ex-boyfriends of mine that I haven't kept in touch with over the years, including one from high school that I dated 12 years ago. And it's not her initiating this, it's them! Several of my exes exchange Christmas cards with her; I've seen the cards hanging on the wall when I visit home for the holidays. Some of these are guys who I doubt send out many Christmas cards, either.
She's attractive for her age, but definitely not what I think most guys my age would be attracted to. However, she is an intelligent, friendly woman and a good homemaker.
My boyfriends tend to meet her and then rave what a wonderful mom I have. I don't fully understand.
The problems haven't come from my mom getting in between me and my boyfriends, but instead from an ex-boyfriend getting in between me and my mom. They were talking, and she told him our family was going camping. He invited himself along. I really didn't want to see this particular guy again, so I told my mom that if he was going on the camping trip then I wasn't. She thought it would be rude to uninvite him, so she didn't and I stayed home. My dad says that on the camping trip, my ex spent most of his time chatting with my mom instead of hanging with my sister or her boyfriend who were much closer to his age. My dad thought it was funny, and suggested that somehow my boyfriends all develop crushes on my mom, as several others have acted this way. | |

Posted: 11/29/2005 2:02:16 AM | Haha, I met this guy online, we dated a few months then, we decided that it was time to meet the parents. He had met mine and it was great, my parents loved him! Then his parents, thats another story. We took me to his house introduced me, which btw his mother is real religous, and showed me around. Ended the tour in his bed making out, his mom walked in and thought we were totally doing something else. Which we werent. Well his whole family found out about that and hated me, technically because Im white and Baptist and apparently "didnt wait untill marriage". A second time I went over there she pulled me aside and starting questioning me, "what do they teach you at your church? Dont they teach you to wait till marriage" And no matter what I said or my bf at the time said she wouldnt believe us.. We didnt let that tear us apart, we dated 2 years and just recently broke up. Which that is a whole other story that I wont get into. I had never felt so torn up in my life.  | |

Posted: 11/29/2005 7:22:50 AM | In-laws usually don't like me. ...especially mothers.
But I have to say, now that my husband and I are split up, my mother in law and I are very close and super friends.
Who knew? | |

Posted: 11/29/2005 7:53:27 AM | I have never had a problem with parents but this one was a story in itself!
I was dating a preachers son from church. He is the same age as me... 22. I had only been at this church a few months and had not formally met his mother, even though she sat a section over (she was very intimadating). When I did finally meet her, she told me that she did not want her son dating anyone until he was 30 and he was not allowed to move out until then. I told her it was nice to meet her and walked off wondering what a sick family he was in.
But did I quit? Oh no, that would have made it easy. One Sunday after church where he sat on the same row as me, she told him in front of me that he is not allowed to sit near me. That was the last straw... I thought for some reason he would stand up to his mother and not be some sissy boy. I told him I couldn't talk or see him anymore until he cut the cord from his mother. No luck yet and I am totally ok with that! | |

Posted: 11/29/2005 5:32:08 PM | | My ex broke up with me in less than 2 months because her over-protective/over-posessive dad held a serious grudge against me. I made the mistake of calling her house when she wasn't home one night, and her father answered quite displeased and treated me to an ever-so-delightful phone interrogation. Days passed by and the old man still wasn't over it. Oddest thing, he had yet to even meet me, how could he formulate detailed opinions of me from a 1 minute phone call? He rejected my proposal of meeting him. That had to be the most ignorant **stard I ever dealt with. I mean, she was 22.. she was old enough to make her own decisions, but she was confined to his rules, he never listened to her, sometimes I feel sorry for her. We're still friends but her dad is still not over it, despite six months having passed. | |

Posted: 11/29/2005 6:02:14 PM | | Yup all of the above sound like one of my earlier relationships. Her and I were very close, but her parents were overprotective and sneaky, plus they did everything in their power to avoid letting me warm up to them. Oh well I guess everyone has to go through similar stories from time to time. | |

I have met some exes parents, and after I saw how they treated them, I ran...fast.
A man will always treat you with the sane respect he treats his mother. | |
