I love your son letter to your boyfriends mom?


Question Posted Friday March 5 2010, 8:37 pm

Hi everybody,

I would like to write a letter to my boyfriend's mom basically just telling her how much I love her son. I guess the big problem is that I don't want to sound stupid or come across like a psychopath!

She is a great lady, and I can definitely see her son and I getting married someday. My boyfriend has dated a few girls before that treated him very badly. He has suffered a very broken heart more than once, so I really want to do this to help her stop looking at me like I am just the next girl to try and break her son's heart.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there anything I should not say?

I thank you.

I will give the perspective of a mother.
If you want to tell her your feelings just talk to her. If my sons girlfriends had written me letters telling me they loved him I would have thought they were a nut case. It wouldn't matter what they said.

Good idea you'd like to put her mind at ease, just do it in person. ;)

I think writing is a brilliant idea. and sometimes you can't always say things in words. just let it flow and you will know what to say. you won't come across as a psycopath trust me. it will be sweet to her.

My vote would be to make it a conversation, not a letter. A letter is too formal and probably would seem a little creepy... plus, what would you expect her to do with it?
Keep it? Then she'll pull it out and use it against you if you ever fight with her son or something.
Trash it? Then you'll have wasted your time and think she doesnt care or anything.
Doing things in writing always holds the chance of it being misinterpreted and/or used against you later.
I think it would be better to just sit down with her and just "let her know" what youre thinking and how you feel. Then if she has comments back, you get them then and there... or if she does misinterpret, you can fix it then and there... or if she has questions.... well, you get the idea!
