Dawnie agony auntIt does seem unfair that you are not allowed around there with your b/f, especially as it coincides with plans you have made. Why do you not get on with his mother?, you may find you have to resolve things with her as you could end up marrying her son one day, making her your mother-in-law.

Like you say you have both taken time off work so i think there needs to be some sort of a compromise here, perhaps he could spend part of his mum's birthday with her, and then have the evening for you. He has even offered to make it up to her which sounds reasonable to me. If she has a problem with this, it's down to her. You are being fair.

Hi Hunny,

You poor thing I bet you have been looking forward to this for ages, What about he goes to his mum for her b/day and leaves to spend the evening with you and you can both make it a special night, That way you not adding fuel to the already burning fire of his mums dislike of you, Although I cant see why she would be this way hunny if she loves her son you would have thought she would want him to be happy. But you sound a lovely girl to me and its all about compromise and If I were you Id be the stronger person and compromise for my man as he is in a right pickle as he obviously wants to be there for you but his mum is saying other wise and hunny as much as we want we cant please two people at once so he must feel really bad. I hope this helped a little congratulations on your yr anniversary WITH LOVE N HUGS MANDY xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
