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.

Or help her seek help? It sounds to me like a mental illness.

OP, PLEASE do me a favor and send her an article about Dependent Personality Disorder. Don't let her do that to herself! If you're not going to stay with her after that, at least try to do something that will possibly save her life down the road. Yes, that is a legit mental illness, because I have it. And for all of you bashing her for it, that hurts. I understand you probably didn't know, but for future reference it is something that unfortunately is normal for her and she can't just change without getting a psychologist. I hope people didn't think all of that about me before I found the strength and courage to get help.

Don't marry someone who can't think for themselves.

I know this is months late, but reminds me of my aunt's friend from years ago. Aunt's friend was a drop-dead beauty and completely under her mother's thumb. Every suitor the beauty would introduce to her mother was rejected as "not being good enough". She was well in her 50s, and never married, when mother finally dies. The former beauty ended up homeless, living in her car with a couple of chickens (yes, chickens). It was a damn shame....
