Unsupportive Parents

There are lots of same sex couples on here who will give you better advice. I can't imagine being in this situation. Just remember that you and your future wife will be surrounded by those who love you on your special day and that's what matters!

Thank you Katherine! That was very kind of you. Congratulations on your big day

My mom wasn't real supportive at first because she still thinks FH is a lazy Neckbeard. He's pretty hardworking and gave up most of his gaming a few years ago, but my mom refused to believe it. Give it time to settle and hopefully things will turn out right!

I'm so sorry OP. I hope she comes around but if she doesn't, SHE has to live the rest of her life knowing that SHE made a conscious decision to miss out on one of the most special moments in her daughter's life because of her bigotry. I know it's hard, but focus on the people that WILL be there celebrating the love between you and FW.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding. I'm sorry your mom doesn't want to be involved. I may be assuming here, but I am guessing that she is not supportive of your lifestyle choice at all let alone the marriage itself? I hope that she will come around before the wedding and can support you and your FW.

You are all truly amazing and I appreciate it so much. My FW said we should send her an invitation anyway and just see what happens...I still have time so I'm hopeful. But she's very stubborn, keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm so sorry OP. I agree with PPs that if she doesn't come around it will be HER mistake. I hope your wedding day is full of love and joy.

My fiancé is in the same boat. Her mother is refusing as well. That’s why we will have been engaged two years but the time we get married. It is so hard to watch her go through it. But what I’ve told her, is that her mom still loves her. Even if she chooses to not attend our wedding her mom will never stop loving her. I hope your mom comes around just like I hope hers does. But even if she doesn’t. Please do not take it as a reflection as yourself. Because you are brave beautiful and strong and if someone can not see that, that’s their fault not yours.

Congratulations I hope your day is everything you want and more!!!

I'm sorry. I hope she comes around. Can perhaps another family member talk to her?
