Mother knows Best?

During the time I've dated a few of my ex's I've had the pleasure of being accepted by their mothers. I mean Its only been a few people who I've been in a serious relationship with so I havent had to impress a lot of mothers but thats just my personality. Its sooooo much better when you can actually hold a meaningful conversation that includes his family members. As much as I value my time alone with the guy Im seeing, that time with him is enhanced when the family is involved.

In a past relationship my ex's mother wasnt all that receptive towards me. Dont get me wrong, I dont think that she didnt like me, I think she was still attached to his former girlfriend. And... thats normal, of course. I mean after he spent time with his ex its only normal that after a while, his family members would get attached to her. Im still attached to my cousin's ex girlfriend even though they are no longer together. I still act like she's my cousin in law (Is that a term?) because I've grown to like her and yes he has moved on with someone else. I wouldnt treat the new gf anything other than pleasant but B is still my number one pick.

Im laughing now thinking about an ex's mother whom we've had an interesting relationship. In the beginning, she liked me, we talked but things started to change after an event happened. Things were strained but I continued to be the person I am and soon enough things were back to normal. Time has past and I've recently spoke to her and she STILL makes me laugh at the crazy things she says. I wonder too if she's treating the new girlfriend nicely? I know she has a place for me in her heart and she'll always be a friend but I think she SHOULD take the time to get to know the new girl. I guess she's secretly hoping that her son and I will get back together. However in order for that to happen I'd have to move back to Baltimore and I dont see that happening no time soon. Plus he says his happy with her and as a friend I have to respect his choice in a girlfriend. I just want him to be happy and frankly thats not going to happen with me, we arent at the same place we was when we was together, which is a good thing. We have to grow right?

But in the back of my mind I do wonder if "Mother Knows Best?"
