In a family, if the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not well handled, it ultimately boils down to the man's problem in the family. There is no innate kinship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but they become relatives because of the former's son and the latter's husband. They both want to occupy the same position in the heart of the same man, so it's natural for friction to arise easily. Therefore, if you want the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along peacefully, the man must mediate. He should be filial to his mother and cherish his wife. He should be firm in his stance, gentle in his words, and play the role of "bridge and link". If there is a conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in a family and the man retreats to the side, acting as if it's "none of my business", or even favors one side against the other, such a relationship cannot be properly handled. In your current situation, if your boyfriend's mother disagrees with your relationship, at this point, the one who should take the lead to persuade her is not you, but your boyfriend, her son. He needs to demonstrate his economic independence to make his mother believe that he will not rely on or burden the family in the future. He needs to express his determination to marry no one but you. He needs to promise that he will not forget his mother after marrying you, but instead, have more people to be filial to her and make her happy by having grandchildren soon. He should be able to coax his mother into being delighted. In general, if a man hasn't grown up at 27, expecting him to undergo a phoenix-like rebirth into a man of integrity and responsibility is somewhat bleak. Being with such a man, you need to be prepared to be both a wife and a mother mentally. You may have to bear the main burden of the family economically, take care of him psychologically, and step forward when faced with pressure. I always believe that marital problems should not be simply advised to reconcile or separate, but should be judged based on the individual's situation. You need to see the problems ahead clearly and assess your own abilities. This man is like this, if you can accept and bear it, then stick to it. If you can't, it's better to exit early.
