I was thinking of the future of my relationship with Leon. We are both from different social backgrounds. He is a son of a lord, while I am the daughter of a commoner and obviously a commoner myself. My mom has told me that she prefers her daughters to go for guys who are of the same social class as us. I know Leon‘s parents aren’t picky of their choice for daughter-in-law, and I know they like me but I’m afraid my own mother might feel we are not good enough for Leon and his family. Mom thinks that people from the middle class such as us should stay away from the rich. Another reason why she feels that way was because recently my first cousin once removed got scammed by a guy pretending to be the son of some rich bloke.
So if things don’t work out between Leon and I because my mom doesn’t approve our relationship, whatever am I to do?

Aw, I’m so sorry. But at least you got over them!
And wow, that sounds like a tough situation.
Uhh…don’t take this the wrong way, but that’s just a load of poop. Seriously, I know your mom’s opinion is very much valued to you, but this relationship is between YOU & LEON..not your mom. Don’t let her ruin a relationship between the two of you if you truly love each other.
My boyfriend’s family is middle class & my family is comfortably wealthy, but that’s not stopping me from dating him. It’s not about money, it’s about love! & your mom should just be happy that you’re happy. It’s sad that she would say that your family isn’t good enough for Leon’s. Like I said in my blog, it’s not about money..it’s about happiness. Just because someone has less money than another person doesn’t mean they are below them.
Don’t let your mom control your life. You are your own person.

It’s your life
In the end you have to live it, not your mother. If you truly love this man, do what your heart tells you.
Sage´s last blog ..I have a lot to write about-
I’m sorry.. how old are you? Are you old enough to make your own choices (I guess, legally)? If you love this guy..then who cares about social backgrounds? I come from a very POOR family and my boyfriend’s mother/stepfather are very very well off but that doesn’t affect us at all. People should accept people for who THEY are as a person and not what their house looks like, or what kind of car they drive.
Don’t let your mother ruin this relationship because she’s afraid of looking bad.
Honestly I think that while your mom has a right to her own point of view, its unfair for her to base her judgment of your relationship on Leon’s family, not Leon himself :/
Anyways, I hope you can talk things out and everything works out fine
wow, thats a tough situation and i hope it all works out for you and leon. as everyone else is saying, its really up to you and how you feel about the relationship. good luck.
Thank you. I too, hope it will work out.
No problem. Marriage is about love, not a mother’s approval! If this guy was bad for you, then, yeah, maybe you should listen to your mom. But if he’s a good man, then go for it.
Besides, you can only benefit from a marriage if he happens to be wealthier. But, I mean, like I mentioned in my post, money/high IQ do not determine the kind of human being you are. Your actions do.

Like the other comments, your mother has no right to decide who you can and can not see. She does have the right to have an opinion, but that’s it. The rest is up to you, dear.
Do you like him? Does he like you? That’s all that matters.
