I(F28) have been in a relationship wirh my partner (M28) for almost 9 yrs. We have always talked about getting married and not have a traditional wedding just me and him. But his mother insists of having a traditional wedding because of their culture and because he is fhe first son they want to do a big wedding. I’m not okay with this and i feel like she puts too much pressure on my boyfriend. Sometimes I feel he doesnt want to marry me like we said we would to not dissapoint his mother. I’m really fed up with his mother trying to control our lives. Any advice how can I approach this situation and her.
TL;DR Boyfriends mother wants to be controlling and wants us to do what she says and have a wedding of her choice.

Idk what the relationship is like between your fiancé and his mother but if it’s healthy and mature and if she respects you.. maybe think about a compromise? Maybe you two can elope have a super intimate moment then later on plan an actual wedding. BUT if he’s too concerned with his moms feelings and you feel that she’s controlling him that’s a red flag
