Hi all,
Cut a fairly long story. My boyfs mum who I will refer to as MIL for the sake of not typing boyfs mum throughout....
We've been together about 18 months, all lovely, fine with his parents, fine with mine...Skype all day every day during pandemic, still going strong.
However, about 2 weeks I bought my bf a new wallet online as his was battered and looked a wreck and I knew he'd like it.. It wasn't a birthday or anything... Just a gift..
He told me today that MIL has also bought him a new wallet. Its not coincidence... He told me she saw the one I bought.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. When he stays at my Mums during the week I'd always do us both lunch to take to work. As soon as his mum found out, she started makin him lunch on the days he stayed at home. Bf said his mum only did it cos I do him lunches and that she's never done him a lunch in her life.
Another time, bf and I booked a short spa break away, his family found out on the Friday, by Sunday morning his sister and her boyf had booked a spa weekend away...apparently MIL coerced the daughter and her boyf to go... (so her boyf told us). I never want to speak out of line about them but I don't think bf thinks its strange...
I feel like his mum thinks I'm stepping on her toes a tad. If u know what I mean.
We're both 25 unfortunately both still live with our parents and I don't want any awkwardness. Not had anything like this before with previous bfs.
Aibu to think there's an issue?
