She saw me, she made up her mind, and she never changed it.
Throughout our relationship, it bothered me a lot. I always wondered why she didn’t like me. What did I do that I deserved such tension whenever we were in the same room? I am an educated, well put-together woman who is hardworking and kind. I am patient, I am understanding—I had a 4.0 when I graduated. I felt as though I was missing something. I later found out—after our relationship ended (for completely different reasons), she didn’t like me due to my religion. I guess that finding out your son is in love with a girl, and may marry, a girl who believes in a different religion is enough to completely turn you off.
But, regardless, my relationship with this guy was still something I look back on fondly—despite his mother hating me.
Here’s how I handled it, and hopefully, if you’re in the same situation, it can help you, too.
