Mummy's boy.

I've been with my bf for 17 months now,and he continues to keep me a secret from his family. He told me he'd told them about us after 6 months of dating,then confessed to me he hadn't. He only calls me when he's not at home, when it's convenient to him.
I'm never invited on family meals, gatherings etc, his brother recently got married in Kenya,and I wasn't invited because they don't know about me! Also the day of the wedding he didn't contact me for 26 hours! Thoughts on ending this relationship? Red flag?
Ps he also lied to me about a family meal, said he was painting his house but was at a family gathering which he kept a secret from me!

Your 'bf' is probably married.

I don’t see a “mummy’s boy”
I see someone who doesn’t see a future with his bit on the side

It does sounds strange. How old is he? Could he be married? I’d be v suspicious.

Definitely a red flag. I don’t think he’s a mummy’s boy! More likely just married. Either way he is keeping you hidden, and I wouldn’t put up with that.

On your other thread

When we were initially together, it took him 6 months to tell his parents about us! I got to know the family, and everything was great

why tell porkies
weird

vodkaredbullgirl · 09/08/2025 22:14

He's married

eone · 09/08/2025 22:17

He doesn't see you as serious partner.
Have you asked him why haven't you been introduced to the family? Could it be a cultural thing?

Perhaps OP forgot she had met them.

i would suggest a GP appointment OP

Is he still annoyed with you for not telling him you were a widow, @Sparklyreader?

DinaofCloud9 · 09/08/2025 22:19

Not sure that makes him a mummy's boy.
