You’re Just A Momma’s Boy….
Filed Under crazy women, mothers, scary things | 2 Comments
Celeste from Atlanta: My boyfriend is really attached to his mother. He calls her at least twice a day and each phone call lasts between 30 mins to 2 hours. I can’t handle it anymore. I feel like he tells her things about our relationship that I would never tell my mother. What should I do?
She Says: Everyone has a different relationship with their mother. But sometimes it’s a little… WTF!? crazy (overbearingly?) close. Relationships are two sided so the mother is mostly likely encouraging this kind of interaction with her son. Unfortunately, I’d say there’s nothing you can do without seeming like evel knieval. You’re best bet is probably to shimmy up to the mother so she feels less comfortable talking to her son about your intimate details. Ask him to please keep your private moments with him private. If he respects you he’ll respect your request!
He Says: Unless you boyfriend is running a multi-million dollar family business with his mom, I’d say this boy has problems. Either he has a serious dependency issue or his mom does or both. At the very least, mom should respect you and your relationship with her precious boy. I say confront him and tell him to deal with his mother issues with a shrink. If he doesn’t get help, mom is going to be moving in soon.

Cary from Edinburgh!: My boyfriend’s parents hate me. I snuck into by boyfriend’s room when I visited his parents house for the first time and they found a used condom the next morning. I am always very courteous when I’m around them but I feel like my relationship is doomed. How can I rectify it?
She Says: Generally the parent to concentrate on (as the girlfriend) is the mother. And Mothers like presents. Mothers also like what’s best for their son. So do some domestic things around her. Make a bouquet of flowers for the table, set the table, make the bed, do the dishes… show that you’ll take care of her little man in the long run. She’ll change her tune soon enough.
He Says: This is a tough one. If they are real conservative, they may take a long time to get over it. But you’re not going out with his parents, you’re going out with him. Be tolerant. Give them time to get over it. Let your boyfriend defend you to them. If he loves you, he will.
