Hello,
Before starting this post, me and my partner get on exceptionally well we never argue, never have problems just when his mum gets involved.
So a short run down of the story, we’re currently homeless, I’m 20 weeks pregnant, we have a 1 year old, we’re moving all of our belongings out of our current house to the storage unit and staying with my parents till we get somewhere. We were busy all morning loading my dads van with all of our belongings then once my parents leave to take our things to the storage unit my boyfriends mum starts telling me she’s never felt so uncomfortable, I ask her why and she said she said good morning to me and I didn’t reply and no one has spoke to her, keep in mind we were all busy loading a van while she’s stood in the kitchen on her phone nontheless, I apologised and said I didn’t hear her but when I walked past her multiple times she was on the phone? Anyway she then kept moaning to herself and hysterically crying how she won’t help me move the heavy boxes and I can do it myself? So I ignored her. She has mental health issues and often has emotional outbursts so I carry on moving boxes for easily putting it in my parents van round 2 to take to storage. Then she asks if we’re taking the sofa. Which annoyed me as I’ve been asking my boyfriend for weeks to tell her we don’t want it. She flipped and then out of nowhere starts arguing with me. I told her to stop making everything about her, then she points at me and said I make everything about me... interesting for the woman who is having an emotional outburst because I didn’t say good morning to her... 🤣 then I told her to fuck off then she got angrier. In the midst my boyfriend did fuck all to stick up for me when this whole situation is his fault for not communicating with his parents about not wanting the sofas. I told him to say something to his mother but he told ME to calm down.
I’m pretty angry about the whole situation as there’s no need for his mothers constant emotional outbursts where she’s downright nasty to me (happened to me many times before) but the thing that annoys me is my boyfriend never EVER sticks up for me or talks to his mum about how she’s in the wrong. I just don’t know how much more I can take of his mum having emotional outbursts on me and being horrible to me, my boyfriend saying nothing and then sweeping it under the rug like nothing happened days later? I want to leave my boyfriend because I don’t see this getting any better, but am I being petty, any advice?
TLDR; bf’s mum has mental health issues, constantly has emotional outbursts out on me which leads to her saying lots of nasty things to me and bf never sticks up for me or doesn’t sit and talk with his mum how she’s in the wrong. Am I wrong for leaving my boyfriend over it?
