Should I tell Mum?

Hi guys, this is my first thread so please be kind!

I’m 21 and female, still currently living at home with my mum and little sister. My mums been seeing this guy for over a year now, he’s very nice and we get on well, however sometimes he over steps the line. After about 6 months of them being together, he started getting a bit too friendly and doing things that made me uncomfortable when my mum wasn’t around. For example, if I was doing something he would come right up behind me, no consideration for personal space, pressing up on me from behind. This only happened a couple of times and then stopped, so I didn’t bother mentioning anything to my mum or boyfriend. However, over the past couple of months I have caught him 2 or 3 times looking at the same picture of me off of Facebook, with his hand down ‘there’ (it’s always been under a dressing gown or blanket so I couldn’t say for sure what he was doing but it’s pretty obvious). It’s extremely uncomfortable, to the point where I don’t really like being around him on my own anymore and I don’t quite know what to do, this is the first time I’ve seen my Mum happy in a long time and I don’t want to be the one to ruin it. Thanks.

Tell your Mum!! Yes, she's happy, but only because she doesn't know!

Awful behaviour from this man!

Absolutely tell your mum, you wouldn’t think twice if he was doing it to your sister would you?

OnTheRise · 03/04/2018 12:44

Definitely tell your mother.

VanGoghsLeftEar · 03/04/2018 12:49

Tell your Mum. She needs to know.

KarmaStar · 03/04/2018 12:52

Tell your mum immediately.
And keep him well away from your little sister op.
I appreciate that you don't want to spoil things for your mum but she would much rather know.

Thanks everyone. I think I will sit down and speak with my Mum tonight when he’s not around. You are totally right, I wouldn’t think twice if it was happening to my little sister, I think I just needed that reassurance.

Hey op,did you speak to your mum?

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 03/04/2018 21:56

How'd it go? I hope she didn't 'shoot the messenger'

Bless you OP, he is disgusting. Don't stand for it and tell your mum Flowers

I told my mum and she asked me if I was sure it was my picture, I told her I was 100% sure as it’s happened before and told her about the other stuff that happened. She didn’t want to kick off straight away so she just asked him about the picture and he said he was just on Facebook messenger. Which is a lie because he wasn’t just scrolling through Facebook messenger he had my picture full screen on his iPad! Not to mention he was in bed and trying to hide the picture and whatever else he was doing. My little sister has gone to her dads for a few days while my mum handles it, she’s going to pack his stuff and end it with him. Thanks for all the support everyone, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.
