My girlfriend never sent condolences when my cousin and my uncle died. Is this a good reason not to like someone??
That's really dumb and you know it. No need to even ask that question.
You all are not married and even if you were that would be your responsibility.
Are you looking for a reason to break up with her?
I ask because I'm baffled on why this issue matters to you. It's your life. Live it for you, not for your mother.

No John I don't want to break up with my girlfriend, I love her. I'm just trying to see if my mother has any justified reason to dislike my girlfriend, but she doesn't. I'm trying to see both sides of the field here but I don't my mom is just completely wrong here.
But it really just sounds like you both act like middle-schoolers, trying to avoid the "grown-ups" in the house when she comes over.
Yes, it was discussed earlier in the thread that they seem to go out of their way to avoid the parents, so I don't see a point in him trying to invent more reasons. IMO he needs to accept his part in not facilitating any connection/relationship between his GF and his parents for three years now, and make an effort instead of hiding from them, thereby giving them reason to wonder what he's hiding and if their dislike is justified.

I never said you should.
It's your mother I suggested you back away from. It's your life to live as you see fit. If you want to continue to date your now girlfriend then you should do just that.

No, but you did say I'm looking for reasons to. It's just that this is very disappointing to me and I can't seem to get it out of my head for some reason. Maybe it's because she's keeping these feeling in secrecy and I found out without her knowing.
You know, when you marry someone you also marry their family. At some point I think you need to be honest with your girlfriend about your mother so that you girlfriend can decided if she wants the mother-in-law from hell in her life!
my mother is not crazy about my choice of a GF as well... she thinks I can do way better. My GF met my mom for the first time last month after almost 2 years together (my mom lives in another country and we took a trip)... I have not told my GF about this.

My mother has never disrespected my girlfriend or showed any animosity towards her. Which is why it's surprising to know how she feels about her. My mom is an adult and she is free to have her own opinion but I wish she would just tell me how she feels, that way I can inform her a little more.
