Question
Alright, so my mom and I have always been close but recently we've gotten very, very, very close. I tell her EVERYTHING! Because for awhile now she has been the only person I could turn too. Both of my parents are very protective over me which does not bother me at all. I'm actually very thankful that they are but recently my first love came back into my life and we started talking (just as friends) and he kept/keeps asking me for the inappropriate pictures of me and I have told him no every time and trust me I will keep on telling him no. So when I talked to my mom about the things he asked me for it was like it did not even phase her. But if it was any other guy she would have been flipping out. She wants me and my first love to date again and so does his family but I do not want to at all. And I honestly refuse to. I'm with someone else right now that makes me so happy and he treats me like gold. But every time I bring up my new guy she just like shuts me off and brings up my first love. I don't know what to say or even do about it anymore. I feel like if I do not want to be with someone because he's well rude then she should just back off about it and give the guy I'm with no a chance. I guess what I'm asking is how can I talk to her about it and to get her to understand?

Wow. That's pretty strange. You need to just tell her that your ex is your ex for a reason. That he was rude, or whatever, to you and you didn't like it. Tell her that you really want her to give your new guy a chance, because he's treating you amazing. It's your relationship and she should support you in it as long as he's treating you good, and isn't being mean to your family. It's rather weird that your mom would be stuck on this one guy.
give it to her straight... tell her why things aren't gonna work out btwn you and your ex. that you're ex's for a reason. tell her what you want and ask her to give your new guy a chance. :D good luck!
Explain to her why you don't want to get back with your ex. Sometimes parents just have certain ideals and reality, like you not wanting to date them, gets in the way of their rose colored glasses. Tell her how you feel about this new guy. She's your mom and should respect your opinion on this and want to listen to your reasoning. Maybe invite your new bf over for a dinner so your family can warm up to him and get to see what you like about him.
