My godson is 26 and a really lovely young man.He’s a only child and his mother is one of my best friends.
In the last year he’s started a relationship with an older woman with 3 young boys. She’s separated from her husband.
I’ve noticed he doesn’t seem to be himself, quiet, a bit withdrawn and not his usual happy self.
I asked his mum if he was ok,and she broke down
Apparently he barely calls her or pops by to see her.
She told me that the new girlfriend has a tracker on his phone, told him she doesn’t like him seeing old friends and has told him to contact all his old girlfriends to say he’s in a relationship.
He’s becoming a Muslim because that’s her religion. He’s not allowed to stay when her children are around( I guess that’s ok) and also she doesn’t want her exes to know about him ( she’s been married twice before)
According to my friend they have gone through a ritual that means they’re married in a Muslim sense.
The girlfriend has rang his mother to say that she’s controlling him(!)
and she’s to stop calling him.
He’s no longer on social media and doesn’t see any of his old friends.
Apparently they are always fighting and making up and he’s besotted with her.
She’s ten years older than him, quite beautiful, and never still.
What’s going on here?
He’s such a great guy , but his mum is distraught.
Any ideas? Does his mum try and intervene or stand by and watch this car crash happen?
He’s really changed, anxious and tense.. awful.
