Hey guys, it's been a while. 
My boyfriend and I have been dating about a year and 4 months and we're very happy. We're looking to start a future together sometime next year...the only thing that bothers me is that my mother doesn't seem to give her blessing. She keeps asking me, "Are you sure? Don't you think you're settling? It better be a 50/50 partnership. Don't you think he's a wuss?" It's really starting to irritate me, I tell her that I'm happy with him and it doesn't seem to be enough. He works as a paralegal so it's not like he wouldn't be able to provide and help out, he also comes from a family who has a bit of money. She thinks he's a wuss because of his acid reflux and motion sickness, conditions he really can't do too much about aside from medications. I'm working in a warehouse so I still need to get myself a good job but that might take a while yet. My mom's religious while my bf and I have left the church years ago. Is there any way I can get her to approve? Or at least stop making rude remarks about him...

Um...I'm not trying to make my boyfriend 100% like my mother or vice versa. I'm just trying to get her to approve of our relationship and coexist in harmony. Or at least pretend to.

What a fabulous first post to make.
Well, she can be a bit callous and judgmental but that may have to do with how she was raised. *sigh*

Awww, how sweet. I still love my boyfriend to pieces regardless of his health issues and persnickety behaviors.

You don't need her approval. Its your life. As for the comments you simply need to tell her straight to her face that she is driving a wedge between the two of you by making them.
Congrats on your BF. Marry him and have a great life

Yeah. I haven't even told him about some of the remarks she's made. He just has the feeling that she doesn't like him.
That's the plan.

Hey, Erisad's back!
Anyhow, I don't think you can actually make her like anyone, unfortunately. I think the best you can do is demonstrate that you have a solid relationship that makes you happy and hope she will come around based upon that, but it's something that will take time.
Just out of curiosity, has she has similar reactions to your other boyfriends, too?

Um...yes. She's reacted to all of them this way. "He's a little chubby. This one is too thin and his hair is too long. Listens to Metal? Oh God." The list goes on. I think she just is worried about losing her baby (I am the youngest after all).

oh. is she worried that he is going to take you away from her? maybe assure her that you can spend equal time with each of them. then she won't feel so threatened and can focus on his good points.
