I (24F) have been with my boyfriend (24M) for the past year. We met when I was studying abroad and have been friends for a while, then started our relationship which is going greatly. We finished our studies last summer and moved to another city together for work. I really love my boyfriend – I simply can’t imagine my life without him. I got used to his level of intellectual and emotional maturity and can never downgrade ever.
The thing is, my mom hates him (hate, not dislike). It was surprising to find out, my mom has always been a great person, I don’t understand her now. We went to my home country to attend my sister’s wedding and he got to meet my family. My dad and sister absolutely LOVED him, my dad especially. But my mom had so much hate for him, and sadly he can feel it. My mom just has no reasonable thoughts here. She made awful comments about him and they’re all just awkward and stupid. She is urging me to “reconsider”, and says she’s feeling instinctively uncomfortable while we’re together. My bf is very obviously sad for how she treated him, and now I feel bad for essentially causing it. I didn’t expect her to act this way at all. How do I solve this???

What are the reasons she gives for hating your boyfriend?
As in, what’s the issue?
