I want him to commit more--should I get his Mother in my corner?

Question - (29 January 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 January 2008)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Please talk me out of this, or at least give me an insight! I woke up this morning with my boyfriend's mother in my mind, and the urge to write her a letter. I think she thinks we're not going out any more and I want her to know how truly, madly, deeply I adore her son, and how, though nominally we are "broken up" in effect, things are perhaps better than ever!! He's a reluctant committer, but with a little encouragement from her

(they are very close) maybe even marriage could happen! However, this (writing a potential mother-in-law) is not, I believe the thing to do by all reason,

and not the way to go. But I keep thinking maybe she could help if she were on my side?????

Hi Waterloo Sunset,

Thank you much for your great advice!! Am trying to evaluate the situation at a friendlier level. I DO want his mother to realize that I love her son. What do you thinking of sending her a funny poem (not sexy) I wrote about the two of us?

This is the original writer.

Never have sides! It just wont work, and always remember the saying, blood is thicker than water. So if there comes a time when you dont do things her way or his, then you wont be too popular. Please dont write her a letter. To have things put down in paper is deadly and can come back to bite you big time. I certainly wouldnt go to her, but the decision is your. Set a time scale in your mind, and if he doesnt commit after that time is up, then you propose, if he doesnt accept then rethink if this is really what you want. And if this is the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, even though he wont commit. some people go through life and never marry. But that is up to you. If he doesnt want to then it is up to you whether you move on.

take care
