Why does my boyfriends mom not like me?

My boyfriends mom despises me. We have been dating for two years. Two months ago he bought me a promise ring and she freeked out because he was spending his money on innapropriate items. When I go over to their house (I have only been there 7 times) she makes me feel so uncomfortable. They never talk to me like at football or basketball games and give me dirty looks. I have no idea what I have done. I am a senior in highschool and he is a junior.

It could be because you are a bit older then him and generally mothers have trouble accepting that their little boys are growing up and starting to date.

I had the same problem with my boyfriends mother untill I stopped looking scared everytime

I go over. Also no matter what they do, always be polite and have good manners. Don’t ever lose your temper at them and ALWAYS greet them nicely, that should ease up some of the tension.

And then also stay away from any “public” affection when around his mother (even if its just a nice hug or something), that’ll give them a reason to not like you.

Oh and why don’t you talk to them? Like ask them how their days have been and what they’ve been doing, even if they are initially unresponsive.

And then lastly don’t take it personally, I’ll guarantee you that it isn’t because YOUR his girlfriend that his mother doesn’t like, you just unfortunately do get mothers that are like that and you’ll have to learn to deal with her.
