Go out on dates with her! Ask her for coffee, learn about her as a person / friend.
She doesn’t live near us. We see her often enough but she likes to be around her son. So 1-1 is extremely rare. I ask her questions when all together and I find her a bit pretentious.

Ours just evolved naturally but I lucked out with mine. Whenever we’re in town visiting I make a point of having lunch or coffee with her. I text her cute photos of us or our dog that my partner wouldn’t think to text his mom. She is so different than my mom and offers some qualities I always wished I had in a mom. She also has three sons and always wanted a daughter so we both found something in our relationship that we were both looking for.

Yeah this is mine. Very cringe, not warm, says inappropriate/not socially acceptable things, uncultured. I don’t think I’ll ever really have a relationship with her. Her and current DIL have a very contentious relationship. My mom is also not a fan of her’s. I’m polite and cordial but I’m not trying to be friends. I know this will make my SO have to choose between us when I have kids but I just can’t.
I wish it wasn’t that way and I got one like what M1 describes as I aways envisioned that kind of relationship but instead I got something not as bad as “Monster in Law” but still not great.

Mine is also disingenuous (probably relates to the lack of warmth) but says her son is lucky to be with me and that the family is so lucky to have me (which is also a point of contention with current DIL). That situation sounds way worse than mine and honestly I wouldn’t be able to maintain a relationship whatsoever. The one thing my mom keeps having me consider is kids: when you have kids with this person, knowing you don’t like their mother, will your husband pick your side when it comes to how they’re raised/how often they see that side of the family/etc or will they side with mom? My SO somewhat knows I’m not a huge fan of his mom (but not the whole extent and why) but has already shown me that I’d have his support when needed. You need to figure out if your SO will do the same.
