When you find yourself in a relationship with someone whose mother hates you, several options present themselves:

  1. Avoid all contact with her until she dies (this may take decades, though!).
  2. Get a new boyfriend.
  3. Start dressing identically to her, and manner your speech patterns and gestures to resemble hers. They say imitation is the sincerest method of friendship-forging!
  4. Scrutinize your own modes of behavior to determine if perhaps she has legitimate reasons for hating you (i.e. you visit her house and drink 3 bottles of her Chardonnay and go to the toilet in her vegetable garden in plain sight of the neighbors).
  5. Endure it.

It is common for a mother to not like their sons girlfriend but the best thing you can do is nothing - stay clear of her and if you do cross paths always be polite. Don't worry about it just cool it and try to be nice to her if she still don't like you then just forget it Best thing in my mind is to stay back respect what his mother has to say

Hi! I am going through the same thing right now and I feel for you. I started thinking about it and I came up with a good answer, I think. I would just try to be polite, kind, and respectful around your friend's mom if it were me. I am saying this because this could get you on their good side. Also, if you tend to hang out at their house, do your hanging out more at your house, so then you show that not everything has to be with them and you want to return the favors of having them over. I would also, if it gets too bad, confront the friend...just tell them, nicely, that their mom makes you feel uncomfortable and that you want to know if you are doing anything wrong. Make sure you say everything nicely and smart because what you say will end up being repeated back to the mom, more than likely. If you say "Look, I am not sure if I am just being super sensitive, but it seems to me that your mom doesn't like me very much." Then give evidence... "I say this because whenever I am over at your house your mom tends to put me on the spot or do things that make me feel uncomfortable. I just wanted to say this because I want to know if I am doing something wrong or if I am imagining this. I don't want to offend anyone, I just want to mend this if it is possible." If you say this or something along those lines, you won't be being rude to your friend or their mom! Hopefully this helps, and this is not the first time something like this has happened to me...sometimes it helps to think to yourself that it might just be the mom's fault and she is being ridiculous! :) I hope this helps to resolve your issue, good luck!
