I’ve been together with my partner for a while however I am having problems with his mother.
She has two sons (both in their 40s) and expects them to spend a lot of time with her (think dinner one weeknight and all weekend plus other drop ins).
DP is on annual leave this week and I need to use up the last of my holidays so tookma half day. We were planning on going for a walk so I met him at his mother’s house.
When I went in, she pretty much ignored me. When my partner said he had to call into the post office and asked me if I had money, before I could answer, she said ‘I’ve got money, then turned to me and said, it’s my job as a mother to give him money not you’.
You might think I’m overreacting on the basis of this example but it just becomes so wearing.
I’m not sure how to deal with this. Should I ignore or confront.
I’ve tried talking to DP but he is still attached to the apron strings. He is even going on holiday with them this year and I’m not invited.
