    Goin unregistered for this one guys!

    Its a long story really so I'l do the basics. When i was 16 i fell pregnant and split from my then partner within 6months..come March i had a beautiful baby boy! I never had any contact from the father but had a loving family who supported me when i went back to school. Fast forward four years and I'm 20 and that little boy is now 3 next week. I've bin in a new relationship for over 2years and everythings great we get on like a house on fire..however his parents do not approve! I come from a well respected family in the area (small area) in which we live,my dad is the local GP and everybody knows everybody. His mother would ignore me in the street if she saw me and would force a smile if I was in the house. In a way I can understand where she is coming from we are very young but at the moment im not looking for him to be a father to my son under any circumstances. Yes if in a couple of years we were serious and commited but like i said were only young. As it stands he is currently in college and living in dublin so we only see each other on the weekend and I think she hoped it would fizzle out..but it hasnt.

    I love this man but its killing me to try and hide that this doesnt upset me. Do I spend years trying to change a womans mind who already has a set opinion on me or do I just not take any heed?

    At the end of the day, all that is important is how your partner feels about you. You're not in a relationship with his parents, and if he loves you and wants to be with you, then it doesn't matter what his parents think. Yes, it is not exactly a happy situation if his parents don't like you but sometimes things just work out that way, and if that's how his mother wants to be then let her off.
