My girlfriend is saying some hurtful things about my mother.

I'm a 21-year-old male, and I've been dealing with an issue that's really been bothering me for the past few weeks. Here's the situation: my mother, who is 50, said something about my girlfriend, who is 22, and it led to a big argument. While I was running errands with my mom, she made a comment about my girlfriend's outfit not matching. I ended up arguing with her about it. When I got home, I talked to my girlfriend about what my mom said, and it made her really upset. She accused my mom of lying and said that my mom hates her, even though my mom had actually complimented her outfit when we were at my cousin's engagement party. Since then, my girlfriend and I have been bickering for weeks. Even though we've addressed the initial issue, she keeps making hurtful remarks about my mother. I've asked her to stop, but she just laughs it off and doesn't seem to take it seriously. Is this behavior acceptable? I'd appreciate any advice, and I'm open to answering any questions for clarification.

How do you feel about your girlfriend's comments regarding your mother?

It's not acceptable for your girlfriend to disrespect your mother, especially if you've asked her to stop. Communication is key: express how her comments make you feel and the importance of mutual respect in relationships. If she continues to dismiss your feelings, it may be worth reassessing the relationship's dynamics.

Have you talked to your girlfriend about how her comments about your mother make you feel?

It sounds tough to balance between your girlfriend and your mom. It’s not okay for her to make hurtful remarks about your mother, especially if you’ve asked her to stop. Have an honest, calm conversation again, expressing how it makes you feel. Encourage her to communicate more positively. It's important to protect your relationships!
