Me and my mother are having some differences about my choice of boyfriend. I started dating my boyfriend, Bart in July. We took it slow and I decided not to tell my mother about it until Iwas sure that I was serious about him.finally that day came when I let her know that I was involved with him.

She spoke to him over the phone and everything seemed okay. I wanted to be honest with her about my relationship with Bart becuase I wanted my mother and I to have that close relationship where I could feel comfortable telling her anything and everything. I told her that he was divorced with two children and that he was was a construction worker who paid child support and took care of his children very well.She accepted that I said she was okay with us dating.

One thing you need to know is that my mother is very religious. She got “saved” about two years ago adn has stuck with it. Although I am proud of her I wish she would stop trying to push her beliefs on me. I believe in God too but I wouldn’t push him on anyone.In the Bible it states that God basically frowns on divorce. In fact he doesn’t approve of divorce. If a man or woman gets a divorce and marries or has a relationship with someone else while their former spouse is still alive, then it is considered adultery. I know this becuase I am the one who read it to my mother when she first got saved.She had decided that shge wanted to be in a relationship with a church man but being that she was married she cant’t. Her and her husband are estranged so we don’t know if he is alive or dead.

Anyway, my mother says that I should end my relationship with Bart becuase I am going to hell if I don’t. I told her that if I did that, I’d be miserable. She said “Wel, then you would just have to be miserable but you wouldn’t go to hell”. I told her that God does not want me to be miserable but happy. True, He has everything that is going to make me happy, but right now I feel like Bart will make me happy.We’ve been having this “discussion” for a while now and I’s so tired of it.

Today I spoke to my baby and told him what was going on.I asked him if he was sure that he loved me and wanted to be with me becuase I didn’t want to make an asshole out of myself for him if he wasn’t on the same page with me about us. He said he did indeed love me and did want to be with me and I was satisfied with that.My mom says that we are going to continue this discussion but I really don’t want to. I want my mom to just drop it.
