Question - (5 July 2010) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

i have been with my boyfriend for a year and half, we love each other very much, we are expecting our first child together (im 5 months pregnant) and we are also due to move into our new home once it is decorated. he is everything i could ask for, treats me so nice and buys everything for the baby which is lovely, its just one thing that lets our relationship down a bit and that is his mum. i have met her about 8 times since we have been together, at first i thought she liked me, but now i think she doesn't like me very much, also i try to make an effort by going with my boyfriend to visit her, but im hardly ever invited and recently my boyfriend has stopped offering me to go with him to see her. i dont even hardly know the woman, and when the baby comes, i will be worried to let her look after the baby without me there because i dont really know her at all. i dont know if i have given her the wrong impression, i have always been kind and polite everytime i have met her, her son was a mummys boy and use to do everything for her, but now he has a baby to think about and he see's her less, but often, so could she be jealous? does she think im taking her son away from her? i dont know what she thinks of me, but i know she doesn't like me much i can tell by the way she talks to me.

i do try and involve her, even invited her to the scan of my baby to find out whether its a boy or girl. she did say when i first met her she is not very sociable person, but she doesnt seem that way to me, she aint exactly shy or anything. i havent spoke to my boyfriend about this because he might be offended if i tell him, it is just bothering me because i really want to get on with his mum and his family. i dont even know any of them, only met them a few times. any advice you can give me on what to do? and what more can i do to try and get her to like me? i think it might be because im very shy and not very good with conversation, thats only because i hardly know her so when we do meet i never know what to say because she makes me feel nervous for some reason.
