My boyfriend is obsessed with his mom, and it’s really bothering me.
I’ve been dating this guy I really care about, but his relationship with his mom is... a lot. He’s obsessed with everything about her—her hair, her chubby body which he finds very cute, her traditional way of dressing, her opinions, her approval, even small things like the way she does things or say things, It feels like she’s his top priority, and I’m always in second place. She lets him have her leftover food or have meals on the same plate but, she refuses him to have mine because she believes he's an elder and I shouldn't disrespect him by letting him touch my leftovers. During festivals when there's lot of people in their house, he sleeps next to his mom and he sits next to her in the car. I always felt left out 🎃
I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, but it’s starting to make me uncomfortable. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? How do you navigate a relationship when your partner is overly attached to their mom?
