My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 years. We’re in a great relationship/we’re really good together. I feel like I’ve always been really good for him, his motivation, his health, etc. He actually always tells me I make him a better person.
And yet I feel like I’ll never be good enough for his mother even though I’ve always been super respectful and nice to her. She’s made little comments that have made me uncomfortable and I just shrug them off because it’s my partner’s mom and I want to have a good relationship with her. I also feel like she gets jealous or something sometimes.
She’s made multiple comments when my boyfriend got me nice gifts like “he doesn’t do that for me!” and then this year my boyfriend spent extra on me (which I didn’t ask him to do!) and she said “now I know why he didn’t have enough to get me something good!”
And when we first started dating she actually said to my face that she wanted my boyfriend to end up with this other girl that was his friend. When my boyfriend told her that wasn’t right to say she said “we’re all adults here it’s fine!”
She’s also very extroverted with a lot of friends. I’m an introvert with few friends and I enjoy my alone time and I think she thinks I’m weird for this. She’s made a comment “don’t you ever hang out with any friends, honey?” She said it in a nice tone, but it was condescending.
My boyfriend makes me feel like her disliking me is all in my head and says “that’s just how she is” but my intuition is usually right and I truly feel like deep down she doesn’t like me and just tolerates me. It makes me kind of sad. I feel like I’ll never be good enough for her for some reason.
There’s been other comments toward me and I could go on and on.
But what do you guys think? Am I overthinking?
TLDR Can’t tell if my boyfriend’s mother is kind of petty toward me or if I’m overthinking things.
