Boyfriend's mom on Facebook
I'm 25 my boyfriend is 23. We have been together for a couple months now. Yesterday I requested his mom on facebook and she declined it and disabled me from being able to request her again. I have met her multiple times and my boyfriend told me she said I was nice and last time I saw her she gave me a hug when I left. She's friends with my boyfriends brothers girlfriends as well. She would also comment and like things I posted when I tagged my boyfriend in them. It just really bothers me for some reason that she would decline it. Now I feel like it will be really awkward next time I see her. I don't know if she has something against me or what. I don't know if I should bring it up to my boyfriend that this happened and that it's bothering me. Any suggestions? :/

I have always had the best result by facing my fears and just asking her head on. Let her know that you have sent her a request and was wondering why your response has been denied. I would also make sure to let your boyfriend know what you are planning on doing so he isn't caught off guard.

Try to relax. There are totally valid reason for his mom to decide she doesn't want that window into your life. It's more likely that she maintaining healthy, respectful boundaries than that she doesn't like you. It could also be something simple like she didn't recognize your full name and didn't think to double check.
Remember that not everyone engages with social media in the same way you do - especially people of different generations. Maybe you could ask your boyfriend to ask her why she made the choice she did, but in the meantime, respect her enough not to fly off the handle and think the worst of her. If she is warm and inviting in real life, that is the important bit.
