AIBU to be shocked that my mum has a secret boyfriend?

[SillyOchreSheep]

I found out today that my mum has had a secret boyfriend for 6 months. I’m a student at the moment and live with my mum who has been single for 10 years.

Ofc she’s within her right to do whatever she wants and I’m happy for her but I’m also slightly confused as to why she’s not told me a thing.

It's her business.

May be she feels it’s early days. Does she normally share everything with you? And you with her?

Peak Mumsnet! Nothing is ever anyone else's business.

OP she probably just wanted to make sure it was going somewhere before she told you about it.

She might have just wanted to see where it was going without pressure - I think she’s right to do that

I hope he is nice

She's being sensible and probably wants something if her own and didn't want to share yet. Hopefully he's lovely and she will introduce you when she knows its 100% serious.

Maybe it's one of your tutors??

It’s not Gilmore girls ffs

She’s probably wants to make sure it’s something serious before she tells you, her way of protecting you

He’s on trial. If she decides to keep him he’ll be announced.

Is her name Gwen?

Beat me to it! 🤣

Hahahaha came here to say this!

OP does your mums secret boyfriend drive a coach?

And just what did happen on the fishing trip?!

Also all beat me to it 😂 That you Stace?

😅 all the Gwen comments

Came here to ask if she was called Gwen - you all beat me to it!

Now that you're here Stace...

You’re her daughter and she wants a chance to see how it goes without any pressure. Wouldn’t it be worse if she wanted you to meet him really quickly? Sounds exciting, good for her

Tidy.

Have you checked she's using birth control?

Same! 🤣🤣

Your mom will certainly introduce you to her partner whe she is sure it is the right one.

Was about to type the same 🤣

Also came to ask if he was called Dave… sorry OP!
