TheAlchemist Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Last December I was going through a rough patch where I was dealing with a lot of emotion and while on vacation, I had an emotional breakdown. My gf drove me crazy as hell at the time and it seemed like any time I had a vacation or any sort of free time, my gf was there to ruin it. My parents spent 2 years keeping distant from my relationship until I finally snapped and so did my mom. Given that my gf was yelling at me, I turned off my phone..prompting my gf to call my mother's phone. My mother and gf got into a heated argument and ever since then my mother and gf have not spoken or even seen each other. I am 23 and recently moved back home while I apply to grad school. Whenever my gf comes over, I bring her during "after hours" when my mother is asleep to avoid seeing her...I cant have my gf and my mother in the same room during normal hours. Let me make it clear, my mother has no problem with seeing my gf, my gf has a problem with seeing my mother and does everything to avoid my mom. My mother doesn't need an apology, she thinks my gf is rude and only wants her to make a concerted effort to just be cordial or acknowledge her. Sadly, my gf is stubborn and is waiting for an apology from my mother...and Im stuck in the middle. I come from a very close knit Italian family and I have always imagined that my parents and my partner being close or at least accepting of each other. I don't like having to create such a division between my mother and my gf. I love my mother and she accepts my relationship as long as it makes me happy, but my parents clearly don't think she is the girl for me. I have coped with this situation for the past year but now its becoming incredibly hard. I love her but I hate this division with my family....what would you do?
