Okay here is my situation in a nutshell. I am 24 and my bf is 28 and we have been together for about 7 years now. We had a very tough beginning of the relationship and things has changed a lot and now is good well except for one aspect. It’s his mother, she is really getting under my skin. I need to know if I am out of line or you if or anyone agrees with me. My bf is the only son and the first born, he lived at home until he was 26 and that is when she kicked him out. Thankfully we moved in together, it made him look at our relationship harder and more seriously. The problem is whenever we get together with her she always calls him pet names like sweetie, honey etc. It really gets under my skin. She doesn’t call her other 2 daughters that, she simply calls them by there names. His mother, lets call her Sally. She just turned 50 and is going through a divorce. Her husband was having an affair and she has known about it for about 5 years now. She never choose to change it or try to stop him. Well, she talk to my BF like he is 15 and treats him that way. I view there relationship not healthy, he needs to stand up to her and that. But I also think that he likes the attention that she gives him. The beginning of our relationship there was a lot of cheating, so I think that the attention plays a huge part in it.
Please let me know what you think about it. Do you think that I am out of line to tell him to talk to her and tell her to treat him like an adult?
All replies would be great. Thanks
