I may be being utterly ridic here so bear with me...

I was at a family wedding a couple of weeks ago and noticed my mum kept glancing up at my partner, before the wedding I asked her if she knew how to do a tie, she said no, but when I walk away goes up to dp and says let me have a look, then as I walk back walks away from him. I understand this could sound mental and I'm not saying there is anything going on between them I just feel a bit Hmm

Yesterday dp strolls in from work and goes "who's been buying your mum gifts" as she uploaded them on Facebook, he also asks about her partner and if they are getting on (because normally he's a complete dick) . I just said what's it to you why do you care?

Am I being stupid?

In your position, I'd probably regale her with how wonderful your relationship with him is, drop a few 'wink wink' comments about how last weekend was chock full of fabulous sexy-time and watch her face. And his phone.

But I'm like that.

I think sometimes you have to just go with your gut instinct. She does sound awful OP, like you're a competitor rather than her daughter. She's definitely jealous of you, hence the trying to make you look bad or daft in front of him and enjoying it when you don't get on.

I'm sorry OP. Mothers aren't mean to treat their DD this way. I'm not a lot older than her and I think she sounds like she really needs to grow up . Keep your wits about you.

Your mother sounds awful. I'd keep my eye on her 😷
