My mother doesn’t trust my SO

J

Looking for some advice/experiences with this issue... my mother does not like my SO or trust him. Some background, my mother has been in some abusive relationships and is incredibly distrusting of men and very paranoid. I’ve tried to keep my personal life and my family life very separate, and I am 27, but due to COVID I have been living at home and have been dating someone seriously for 5months. She has only met him twice, and the first time did not go well. The second time I agreed to arrange a meal for all of us, and it went really well; my SO was wonderful. Basically she wants to spend even more time with him and get to know him better, but I tell her it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t know him well because I know him and this is my life, not hers or ours. She says if I cared about her I wouldn’t want her to worry so much and I would want her to know him better... I have been desperately trying to find an apartment so I can move out, but haven’t had any luck yet. Please chime in with anything helpful, really in a tough spot here.
