Plaintiff Arguments [Mar 9, 2010]

My bro is always so worried about what our mom thinks about everything. It is no so bad that he is even filtering his dating pool because of her. Everyone knows that he prefers Asian chicks but no way would he even let this known t mama. He only introduces her to the types SHE prefers: Italians. Well, now he is in love with an Asian chick and wants to take it to the next step but he is considering dumping her because he knows mama wont approve. I say BS. I have his back so he needs to make the introduction and move on. I promised to call her out if she makes even the snidest of remarks. He wont do it though. Says he needs to find the right girl that works for everyone. I keep telling him that he is foolish but mama has him brainwashed.

Defendant Arguments [Mar 10, 2010]

Its easier said then done people. I love my family and we are all very close. An important requirement of my future wife, whomever she may be, is that she can embrace my family the same way that I do. In order for this to happen, my mother has to like her and that is not always easy. My mother grew up in Sicily so she cannot imagine me marrying anyone but an Italian girl. Preferably a Sicilian but she will settle for Italian in general. The problem is, I really like Asian women. This simply won't fly. I am really into the girl I am dating but my mother will ostercize her making it impossible for me to still be close to my family. It may be easier to cut her loose and try to find someone else that meets the requirements. She will never, ever understand and wont listen to reason so its either fall in love with what I want and goodbye mother or try to find love with someone more to her liking.

Why ?
At 24 and 29, why does your mother have a say in who you date or marry ?

shouldnt this case be between the bro and the mom, not both brothers???

Some people will always be managed by their parents. Not much you can do about it. A parent's influence is only as strong as you allow it to be and the onus to change is on the children.

And some parents will always rule their children with guilt, which I susspect is happening here.

if he's considering dumping her, then he must not really be in love with her. your bro needs to step up and be a man. he's freaking 29!!!

I never said I was in love with her but I do really like her. My mom will absolutely despise her. You really cannot understand how people go to great lengths just to stay off my mothers bad side.

mama
You mother married who she wanted to marry and you should be entitled to do the same. Your mother will get use to it in time, and if she doesn't it's her loss. You cannot marry to please you mother.

Be a Man, talk to your mother. Tell her what you want. If she cannot be reasoned with, then YOU have a choice to make, and it won't be an easy one. You marry this girl, have kids, and then have to watch her be treated like a leper in front of the kids while visiting your mother, or, you simply stay away from your family. While thinking of kids, how is Mom going to feel about mixed race grandchildren? Like it or not, to have one, you will have to lose the other.
