“Until you’re sure” makes it sound like she’s not sure. You’ve been dating for 3 years not 3 months I’d say you’re pretty sure. I hate to say it but I think your mom hates your boyfriend

she then proceeds to tell me “we had a deal” mind u i made NO deal. I just said I would do it when im ready. I think 3 years is enough for me to tell my family.

thats the thing she doesn’t hate him. she met him after a year of us dating and now she calls and invites him for dinner. she’ll praise him for helping me move in small things like that. and we had a conversation with my dad where she was like “he’s honestly the perfect guy for u”

Is your family known for gossiping like that?

They do gossip but it’s mainly like if someone is pregnant or idk they got arrested. If they knew I had a bf they would prob say smth and then forget about it a day later. All my cousins are dating so it’s really not a big deal. Just frustrating

There’s def something your mom isn’t telling you if she’s this concerned
