I see your point. My mother doesn't understand me at all. I think a lot of times when mother's do this it's because they are regretting something they did in or with a relationship in their past. And as with any mother they just want the best for their children, especially their daughters. I dated this guy many moons ago, and for years when I'd have a bad relationship she's say " I don't know why you just didn't stay with Dan". I'd gotten married and divorced and found someone new, who was great. He had his own business, very supportive of me, liked my children, unfortunately we were two work-a-holics. That and due to some things he went through in his childhood, he was afraid of being like his father and thought he'd ruin what we had. We had a beautiful daughter but ended the relationship, but are still good friends. So, now I hear from my mom, "I don't know why you didn't stay with Mike". I'm hoping that one day she will realize that only 1-2% is it them and the other 98-99% it's me. And the part that is me, well un-benounced to her is the part of me which is her. But we dare not say that to her. She's obviously in some sort of DENIAL in dealing with her past relationships and emotions. And unfortunately, I fear passing these negative traits on to my girls. So, just hang in there and hope for the best. She's just being a mother. I'm sure there are many who have or are going through what you and I endure with our mothers.

Many parents think that the good candidates for their daughter are nessecary to be rich. And they do like your mother:introduce to you candidates on their taste. I dont know how the situation is your country is, do in fact parents order the marriage of their children. But if you are free to make a choice, fight for your right to leave with your boy. The rich one you cant love by orders indeed.

I would sit her down and explain to her that you are in love with your boyfriend and have no wish to be with anyone else. I would let her know that you are old enough to make your own decisions. There is two questions I would like to ask. How old is he? And is he a responsible person? According to the answer to these two questions possibly is why your mom is doing what she is doing and opposing the relationship.

My mother didnot understand me when I have a puppy love,but luckily,she though that maybe i had my own ideal and that was a commom thing in my life.Anyhow,i was happy during that time,and now,my mother understand me more because i could express my heart to her and she will stand by me. To your situation,i suggest you having a talk with your mother about this,telling her the attitude towards your bf.In my opinion,if she think the man is raliable she will give you more freedom.
