Family values

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said she wanted to accept, but that she'd basically have to get her mom's permission first. Apparently the answer was no. The worst thing is that she really is this unhealthily dependent on her mom, and probably wasn't lying about needing her permission. FML

She'll probably struggle later in life until she becomes more independent, but you might be better off without this one, sadly

If she really feels that she needs permission, she probably isn't ready for marriage. There's a point when you just have to move on. You can't be in a relationship with someone who still wants to be their parents' baby.

Not only that, I think her mom is enabling her if her mom said no to her marrying you, then it's obvious that the mother probably wants her to be dependent to her and not lose her to anything else. The mother is likely a control freak

Sadly I think you dodged a bullet. With a dependant relationship like that there won't be room for you.

Treat that, not as a rejection from the momma, but as a message From On High. Get outta Dodge!!

Call it quits get with someone who doesn't need Mommy's permission the breath. That's pathetic.

Why did her mom have her decline? I would guess she can't let go of her little girl while she can't get let go of her mother

If she is close with her mother, then it is understandable that she would want her mother's permission. If someone asked me to marry them, I'd definitely ask for both of my parents' permission/blessing.

Before reading your comment I was thinking Op might be better off without his gf, but now I'm thinking that I need more information before judging this story. I know a lot of overbearing parents who would do anything to keep their kids under their thumb, but I also know a lot of people in bad
