My partner is very close to his mother. He tells her a lot about out relationship. Generally speaking, he's a great guy, but this issue is getting me down a little.
Once, I was preparing to do him a favour- clean his windows. I told him the method by which I’d clean them. He called his mother and asked her opinion, and told me that she said to do this method that I was going to do (she didn't know I was going to use this method). It kind of annoyed me, I knew which method was correct to use. It made me wonder, what would he do it she said to use a different method?
I often have extra virgin olive oil with meals and have been explaining the benefits to my boyfriend for a long time. I offer it and he always rejects it. Tonight, he told me he told his mother about me saying this. She told him that he should be having the olive oil as it’s healthy. So now he’s told me he’ll be having the olive oil, despite me telling him of the benefits for weeks.
These are just some examples. I’m genuinely worried for the day she disagrees with me, and what my boyfriend will do. I feel like he may take her word instead of mine. What do you guys think? His mother seems nice , but I just don’t want to end up later down the line with him following everything she says and being unhappy.
