quirkasaurus,

what reasons did your mom name for disapproving so much of your marriage?

Also, not sure if i agree with you blaming you mom for your father's position on it, but meh, obv you know the situation a million times better.

well.... we were a little young; i was 19, bride was 17.
she wasn't pregnant, but boy was she a little blonde hottie.

my mom wanted me to marry a ditzy, air-headed, social
butterfly -- not a brooding, thoughtful, hippy-ish free spirit.

my dad was very supportive of my relationship with my
girlfriend for 2 years. maybe he thought the marriage
was pre-mature or ill-advised but to this day, i felt
their reaction to it was way over-the-top and i could
not imagine treating my children the same way.

however, during the same time, my mom openly hated my
girlfriend and accused her of stealing dope from my
brother's car ( turned out it was the nextdoor neighbor ),
called her "the neighborhood sult" ( even though I was
her one-and-only ), and assorted other slams...

so, yeah, i blamed my mom for my dad's change of heart.
