Well since you're not willing you might as well just leave her and stop delaying the inevitable, no?
Or would you rather avoid dealing with this issues as well?


Wake up OP


...what color minivan?

With the way we handle EVERY relationship, we reveal things about ourselves. The smart folks pick up on those "hints" and respond.

The OP is upset she is leaving if he doesn't change (or else this thread would NOT exist).

Respect her right to do so.
Like I said, it's none of her business. Some things are private. It's not my relationship so I don't have to respect anything. Don't know why you told me that lol.

If he told her about it then it is her business especially as he so disgustingly says the following below, which shows he is looking at her as someone to marry.

That girl should run for her life!

3 kids and a minivan, as long as I shut up and only ask pertinent questions?
Oooh, count me in!
What girl could resist?

Two things I agree with.

1. OPs issues with his mom's remarriage are an indicator of issues he may have which will affect relationships with the opposite sex.

2. It is not the girlfriend's place to "demand" the OP fix his relationship with his mother. She does not have the full story and she is an outsider to the situation. The OP is handling the situation the way he sees fit, even though I don't agree with his handling of it. If the GF doesn't agree with the OPs decision, she should decide to end the relationship and not waste anymore time.

I would not get involved with anyone who had serious rifts with significant immediate family members.

That being said, it would not be my place to tell them to go fix this, that, or the other.

Since you guys can't empathize with my position, I'm just going to tell her we no longer talk because she doesn't respect my lifestyle and beliefs.

My two questions are why does she care and what should I do?
Because she realizes that how a man treats his mother is a reflection of how he will treat HER.

I treat my mom as an individual. Its a huge logical leap to think that she is a reflection on all women.

NO. How YOU treat your mom may very well be a reflection on how YOU treat all women.
