Dear Sugar,
I've been dating my boyfriend for about three years. My mum and I are very close, and she's been supportive of our relationship. Although he and my mum had not met in person, they have spoken over the phone countless times. Recently, he proposed to me, and we needed to go home to start the wedding introduction, and for him to finally meet my mum.
When she saw him, she became upset and told him to leave the house. I've been asking her what the issue is, but she has insisted that she wouldn't give me her blessings and that I should forget about getting married to him. We are really in love and, I am conflicted on what to do. I also don't want to lose my mum as she been my backbone for as long as I can remember.

Dear B.L,
This must be really hard for you. But you must insist on why your mother doesn't want you to go ahead with the marriage, especially if your fiance is also unaware of her reasons. Whatever the reasons are, it's your sole decision to go ahead with the marriage or hold off on it. Being secretive about important things such as this is usually a bad idea and can cause a rift that may last for a long time.
Being aware allows you to be conscious of the risks you're taking and can help you bond a lot more with your mother. Try to resolve this before you make your final decision. In the instance where your mother isn't budging, you must be ready to take the risks and work around it, if you're convinced of the love you both have for each other.
Wishing you all the best,
Love,
Sugar
