Mother-in-likes (the mother of your boyfriend or girlfriend)
(917 views)So my boyfriend and I haven’t been going out all that long (we were friends before we started going out), but I really, really “like” him. His mother is a PSYCHO though! She takes away his phone and computer all the time (we’re in high-school) for no reason whatsoever! And with now warning too! And she’ll randomly start creeping on our conversations. The past three days he’s been visiting family and hasn’t had much opportunity to talk to me. I figured that he’d at least be able to text me from his iPod or something at night. But, his mother keeps taking everything away at random times. Tonight we finally got an opportunity to have a conversation because she gave everything back. I manage to have a one time back and forth IM chat with him before she calls him away for five minutes. Turns out it’s “lights out” at 11 ALL SUMMER! We’re not children! And then when he get’s back she creeeps on our conversation while he says goodnight! So the only goodnight I get is “goodnight” and then a log off. And he doesn’t have his phone right now (again!) (or his iPod I guess) so he can’t even text me! WHAT THE FUCK!? Not cool!

Oh tough situation. Mothers like her don’t change. I mean people can advise you to be patient and accept her or talk to him about your feelings on the matter but at the end of the day she is his controlling, suffocating, psychotic mother and he loves her. I f he is a high school boy then he is probably a little young and emotionally immature (males take so long) to stand up to her (also judging from the simple goodnight) so I think you need to accept her rules and control over him for the time being and until he gets a bit older and more confident (perhaps you can secretly build up this confidence) and hope that he will eventually tell her that she is not his only priority…this could involve a wait…or you could just cut and run. Tough choice I know but mothers are forces to contend with. Best of luck and I hope it works out for you.
