Struggle with guilt
I have been struggling to accept that my partners mom doesn't like me. She doesn't know me very well and has only heard negative things about me because of some drama I had gotten into with my partners stepsibling.
Because of this drama she has been very passive aggressive toward me and has made it difficult for me to feel comfortable around her. Despite my attempts to smooth things over with both parties, i've come to the conclusion that my partners step sister and mom will probably never like me. I understand that this doesnt inherently mean anything bad about me and my partners relationship, but I still cant seem to escape the guilt of knowing two very important people in my partners life do not accept or like me

Hello Elio, nice to meet you first; welcome to 7Cups. Thank you so much for giving us a small insight into your life. Upon reading what you've given us so far, it sounds like you're genuinely stuck between a rock and a hard place where you've tried to do everything you could to smooth things over, and it just hasn't worked. It's challenging when essential people in your partner's life don't accept you.
It would be best to recognise that you can't control how others feel or think but can continue to be yourself and show genuine intentions. Sometimes, with time and patience, relationships can improve.
In the meantime, focus on the positive aspects of your relationship with your partner and the love you share. Surround yourself with people who appreciate and support you, and don't be too hard on yourself for something that might be beyond your control. 💕 Keep being compassionate and kind, as you've been doing.
