Well we have decided to go ahead and take the plunge and get married. We will be married at 4:30pm today. What I do not understand is why mom is so against me getting married? We have been together going on 8yrs and we have children together. How can we agree to diagree?

Have you had a rough 8 years? Maybe that is what your mother is looking at. Maybe she was holding out hoping that you would change your mind and find someone else. And since you were not married, you would not have had to worry about a divorce. What this a spur of the moment thing? Are you her only daughter? Maybe she wanted to be able to plan it. At least to be able to do something for you. Either way...not matter what you mother thinks...it is your marriage and not her's. So, congratulations!

We have had some rough patches but we got through it. My mom has been our biggest problem over the years. I love her dearly but she is hard to please sometimes.

Congratulations and fervent wish for your continued happiness. YOur mother will come around. As a mother I know that no one is good enough for my children. I speak from experience my oldest is married. I had many objections one of which was they were both to young and I felt like she wasn't good enough for my son. However they have been married for close to 2 years and I just love her now. You need to do what is best for you and if marrying this man is it your mom will have to learn to live with it. Is your mother married and if so is it a happy marriage if not that may be part of the problem she is not happy or has something against marriage in general. If that is not it all I can tell you is that she will come around. YOu do what is best for you and your children and your mother will have to deal with it.

No my mom is seperated at the moment. She tends to push people away.

Have you seriously asked your mother why she refused the marriage? At times mother/father sees something that we cant see niether understand. So i suggest to talk it over with your mom, even the wedding is already through.

Not sure why your mother is so against the marriage. Does she not like your boyfriend. If you have children I feel it is important for couples to be married. Besides you are the one who has to live with this person not your mother. Do what is best for you.

No she says he reminds her of my father. She tends to act like this when she doesnt get her way.

You just have to tell you mother to deal with it - She just does not want you to get hurt like she did, obviously. I would tell my mother that if she loves me she will need to let me live and learn! I would also be sure I listened to why my mother did not like him. She may see something that you do not.

First off, congratulations! Why do you think that your mom is against it? Does she not like your significant other? Does she want you to have a huge wedding and you aren't. Parents are funny. Good for you for finally tying the knot and being together for some time.

First off, congratulations! If you're both adults and responsible for yourselves and your children, who really cares what your mom thinks? It's up to you and your husband.

Congratulations krysy for your wedding today. And have a happy married life. It is so good when long lasting relationship finally culminates in marriage. As marriage is social institution in which a couple is committed to each other and you have children too. so it is good for all of you. I don't know why you mom opposes your marriage because it is best thing that can happen to person esp. when they are commmitted and ahve family together. Hopefully your mom will come around in due time when she sees how happy you are in your marriage as surely wnats the best for you. Have a great wedding. enjoy your life and have fun. good luck & best wishes.
