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.

relationships who have great parents who just want to keep their kids safe. Whether or not the gf has an unhealthy relationship with her mom really depends on the entire situation. (Sorry about the double comment. I ran out of room.)

Shouldn't you ask for the parents blessing to begin with? Or is that just dead now days? Also this really depends on how old said female is.. If this is a frequent thing for her to do maybe you should address that first and if it doesn't get better I would say it's time to find another companion

Asking for a blessing is far different than asking for permission. This is very unhealthy behavior in an adult and she needs independence before she should marry.

Don't even bother. That's her mess, not yours.

You should've already asked her parents for her hand in marriage. It's the proper thing to do.

It doesn't matter what year it is. There are some things in life that don't have to change. I don't like how people are all "I can do whatever I want" now. I wish it was still like the older days where there was much more respect for elders, more personal interactions without electronics..just the simplicity of life back then was so much better than it is now.

The world isn't as black and white as you'd like it to be. Elders don't deserve respect just because they're older, they deserve respect because they've been there for you when you needed them. Some parents just aren't there for their kids, so they don't get the respect you think they deserve.

YDI for proposing to someone who still lives off of their parents. Do you honestly think she'll take control of her life when you two get married? No. You'll be the next silver spoon she eats from.
