yourrideordie Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Soo long story short my girlfriends mom possibly faked liking me for 7 years. One day her attitude towards me changed and I think it's because my girlfriend dosent want to move back home. Buttt that's kind of immature so I think she's using this as an excuse to show her true colors. And then to make things worse she ignored my call when I tried to wish her a happy birthday and refused to attend my graduation ceremony. Then she left a dry ass post on my fb wall wishing me a happy birthday. I was polite and thanked her. But I'm just like wtf??? I don't like fake people either you care for me or not, I would much rather put it out on the table because I don't like to pretend. But I can't because she doesn't like her flaws to be pointed out, nor do I want to hurt my gf. I know that the conversation won't go well. But it bothers me because now I'm worried that she's gonna try to be all fake and stuff just for my girlfriend, who stopped talking to her BTW because she's being so mean to me. How do I handle this without being my usual self. Which would probably be to read her for how she truly feels about me and let her know that I'm not going to be like her and act sometimy because honestly after this summer I could do without her.
d0nnivain Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Given the fact that you mentioned graduation, I'm going to guess you are relatively young. Many parents aren't thrilled when their children begin to date. Being together with your GF for 7 years means the mom has an inkling that you & her daughter shared many firsts. That probably made the mom concerned for her daughter's well being & melancholy that her little baby is growing up. You are the bad guy in that scenario. When you called to wish the mother a happy birthday, she was not obligated to pick up. Yes it would have been more polite for her to acknowledge your good wishes but parents don't always remember that their kids' contemporaries are people too. The mom bothered to wish you happy birthday. I don't understand why you are complaining it's dry. There aren't too many ways to express that sentiment. Instead of concluding that the mom is fake, which I don't see at all, see the mom as trying to deal with your relative places in your GF's life. You be the bigger person & continue to be kind & respectful to the mom. You get more flies with honey after all.
