I wish my fella liked my Mum. It bothers me a lot that he doesnt really. But then again I'm not too keen on his Mum either

I think so. I think he has been irritated by her in the past maybe, particularly when we lived with my parents in our early 20s, just because they have their differences. My partner is happy being alone (or just with me), not much of a talker, whereas my mum is quiet, but equally, she likes to talk 
.. but he has always respected her and appreciates what she did and what she still does for us. I'd say they have a better relationship than my MIL and I. MIL is a harder person to be close to.. but maybe I'm biased!

No, my husband dislikes my mother. Not because of anything she has done to him but because of the stress and upset she has caused me. Tbh he would prefer if I went NC.
He has always said the last straw for him was her kicking up a fuss about the seating plan the night before our wedding, threatening not to come etc if we didn’t change part of it.
We only got married last year so he’s not had to see her much since due to the pandemic. Think he’ll be sad when it ends in that way

Never really discussed it, but yes I'm sure my husband likes my mum. Good job cos I really am turning into her
I tolerate his (she means well, but is too overbearing).

Yes, they get on scarily well to the point that he’ll go out to lunch/dinner with her on his own and talk to her for hours.
They aren't close but they get on fine. My mum isn't a very demonstrative person and my husband is introverted, so they could hardly speak to each other but that would be their personalities and them being true to themselves, not a sign of a problem.
Me, my dad and my sibling never draw breath for talking so it all balances out.

Definitely not. My mother is definitely a piece of work and he gave her the benefit of the doubt, even after all the stories he heard about her from myself and siblings. But he eventually got to see her true colors which unfortunately came out at my sisters wedding for everyone to see and understands why we all have had no contact with her for most of our adult lives. I will say our life is much better without her drama!
Your mother sounds like mine! She had a fit and disowned half her family for not being able to attend my sisters wedding due to financial or health reasonsNo, my husband dislikes my mother.

My mum gets on great with him indoors, they have good banter etc but his mum doesn't like me. In spite of him having lived here five years before he met me his mum blames me for him not going back home to australia. When she visits she can be quite sarcastic and makes constant digs and it can be anything from the way I cook roast potatos to my son's floppy shoulder length hair but she does it in a jokey way but I know she means it. She only visits once a year so I'm really lucky I don't have to put up with her nonsense full time. I don't get involved in the face time sessions. Its just him and the kids. I'll give a wave and quick hello but that's it.
I don’t like my fellas mum never have and never will
never have and never will 
He loves my mum, but then again it’s very hard to dislike my mum, she’s just so friendly and loving. The type to give the clothes off her back for anyone
his mum on the other hand...
she’s nice enough, and she’s warming up to me, but one thing really grates on me. She’s a total health freak and tries to inflict her opinions on everyone. When we have dinner, she watched what her husband and my bf put on their plates like a HAWK. She will comment on their food, their eating frequency, everything.
one time we went to Starbucks. She got a skinny latte and the girl asked me what I’d like. I said “hot chocolate with whipped cream”. She looked at me like I’d asked for heroin.

My husband gets on so great with my family, he’s been on holiday with them before when I’ve had to work. It’s really nice I can just leave them to do their own thing without feeling I have to chaperone.
Yes, but I don't like his mum
Mine does, they kind of act more like his parents than his own. My parents can be a little emotionless, so can I which he finds frustrating. I have only met his mum 4 times in 11 years, she's okay and I feel rather indifferent to her. My husband doesn't want her in his life and I respect that.
My husband and my mum get along but they don’t agree on anything political and my mum always has to get the last word in and is such a know it all which annoys him and me to be fair I get on with his mum really well, she’s like my second mum and can phone her any time and feel I could tell her anything!

My mother passed on. But my abusive ex husband did not like her and did whatever he could to prevent me talking to my family. He wanted what little he could to do with her. In hindsight I think he knew that she would work him out really quickly. She did not, for obvious reasons like him. I wouldn't listen to her pleas and warnings not to be with him but it fell on deaf ears.
My first ex husband liked her. But he was overtly nice and saw the good in everybody. He was a bit dopey, he looked and behaved like Rodney Trotter, my mum secretly thought he was an absolute plonker like him at times and would pull faces behind his back.

My partner and my mum get on well enough. There's not much to dislike about my mum, she's lovely. They would never ring each other though, all their contact is centered around me so lately that has been video chats or phone calls and they will chat then. I've never met my partner's mum, she left when he was 5, there was a custody battle, his father won, she tried to kidnap him, she failed and he never wanted anything to do with her after that
Not since my mum told him she thinks his mum plays on her illness and uses him and is pathetic ... in her defence that is all true and I can’t stand his mum, but not something my mum should have said out loud
