Some help on talking please? (Relationship over, nevermind.)

So my boyfriend's mother is ...well...opinionated. VERY. She's also very hard to talk to because you feel as though your every move and word is being watched and critiqued. I try small talk with her and just ask her questions, and it can go fine for about...umm... 30 seconds, then we enter an awkward phase. Another thing about her is that I'm not quite sure she's happy her son & I are dating...that bothers me and makes talking even harder. Heck, she talks to his ex-girlfriend right next to me at his wrestling meets more than she talks to me. At one of the wrestling meets, she leaned over to me & asked if she should take a picture of my BF's ex with his best friend. (they're dating) I had such a shocked look on my face. She was like "I bet he'd like to see that now wouldn't he?" I just couldn't believe that she would even think of saying something like that! It was just rude. Plus I don't think she likes that her daughter is my best friend while her son is my boyfriend. Ha! I have connections to the whole family almost! Plus she's also gone and tlaked to my mom before at one of our xc meets and told her about my bf's future college plans & what he wants to do with his life when he graduates...basically saying that I'm not in the mix for the future.

~But anyways, has anyone else dealt with complicated parents before? & any tips of advice as to how to almost get her to like me better & make the awkward talks a little less awkward? I try, I really do, but now I need some more outside help.


-Well forget about this now...he broke-up with me...
I've never been dumped...I just realized that.

wow she sound like a real character
its not even like shes subtle about it

Just be civil with her, and work things out through the Boyfriend. A girl I was dating over the summer's mother was very difficult, but I was civil, treated her daughter well, and eventually won her favour. Until I went and fucked things up completely, and it turned out we should have listened to her, and I shouldn't have made the stupidest mistake ever, which I still feel bad about 3 months later, cause I broke the heart of the girl I loved.

Talk to your boyfriend and have him talk to his mom about it. Maybe his mom is "trying" to be nice but she sucks at it.

^^^ haha! Noooo. She's not trying to be nice & sucking at it. She's just... VERY opinionated. She acts like this to just about everyone, except for a few people. Ugh! I just want to enter the category of "A Few People."

just be yourself, honestly

You might be over analyzing a bit i know i do this with my boyfriends parents and sister. I always am scared they dont like me but I'm pretty sure they do...i would just be really really nice to them

Well it doesn't matter now... he just broke-up with me.

whats her number


ill settle this

Yep yep just a bit.
I was waiting for him to call all weekend, FINALLY he does, I'm excited, I start talking to him, he's silent, then he drops the bomb. He doesn't want a relationship because he needs to focus on wrestling. Well I wasn't in the way of wrestling at all. & in my opinion that's not the REAL reason why he broke-up with me because I used that same excuse last Track season to end a relationship. I think there's something else that he's not saying. Not another girl or anything, but another reason.
Does anyone want to buy a $40 jacket from me now? (I just bought his Christmas gift on Friday...I'm going to go return it & get my friends better gifts.)

that sucks, im sorry

I think I would have freaked out a bit more if it was in person. Over the phone at least he couldn't see me shaking in shock!
By text though? That's just wrong.

aww, i'm sorry Hurdle-Gurl
and +1 on what everyone else is saying, his loss.

That would hurt, and doing it over any kind of text is just plain lazy.
Mine was kind enough to wait a week, but it was with my best friend of 8 years. Now she is the school slut and we never talk..Its quite sad.
