Bondage

My boyfriend's parents don't like me. Well, actually just his mom. His dad seems to love me.

I don't want to say that his mom hates me, I'm not even sure if she fully dislikes me, but she sure as hell doesn't fully like me either. She is cautious and skeptical and I think she thinks that I am taking her baby boy away from her.

This is not an unusual situation for me. In my past two serious relationships, the dad loves me while the mom is not sure of me. I don't know why this happens but it does, it always does. I have gotten quite used to it.

But this time around, its different. I want his mom to like me because I have faith that this relationship is going to last for a long time, possibly even forever. And i want his mom on my side. I want to have a good relationship with her. I actually really like her. I enjoy talking to her and would like to regain her confidence in me.

See, for the first month of our relationship, she was very friendly towards me. We would have great conversations and she would share stories with me. Then I don't know what happened, but she became a bit unfriendly. She talked to me less and less and the conversations were always cut short. I don't know what I did, but she was just done getting to know me. And it hurt. It still hurts.

I guess it hurts because I want to be a part of his family. I am ready for that, and they aren't. I am hoping that with time this all heals itself. That we will get to know each other and form a bond. I'm just going to give it time and hope for the best.
