Today, my mother started arguing with me once again about how my life revolves around my girlfriend and how it's unhealthy to spend so much time with her. We live together and are engaged to be married. FML

Today, my mother found out that my fiancée broke up with her last boyfriend because she didn't want kids and he did. She's now demanding that I either change her mind, or call things off with her. FML

Today, I got into a fight with my mom because she believes that my fiancé is "irresponsible" and "immature". I stormed out and drove back home. There, I walked in on my fiancé and his friends. They were in a heated and almost violent argument over which CSI is the best. The wedding's next month. FML

Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML

Mommy issues

Today, my mother is such a nosy, intruding busybody, she has driven away my last three boyfriends who could no longer stand her. My latest fella had even proposed, but he asked for the ring back and you can bet he blamed my mother for repeatedly involving herself in our private business. FML

Today, I was busy going over wedding plans with my fiancé, when my mother called. Apparently, she wants me to "drop the joke" about this "fake engagement", because she was under the impression I was only dating a white guy to piss her and dad off, and was now getting carried away with it. FML

Today, my boyfriend's mum said she won't stop us from seeing each other, yet she'll only allow me to see him for 30 minutes a day, for 2 days a week, and gets mad if he sees me for any longer, because "mother knows best." FML

She could still be right. It’s ok to have a personal life/friends/hobbies outside your spouse or partner. But do whatever makes you happy unless it is actually unhealthy in some way.

Your mom has an Oedipus complex. Why do you call her "girlfriend" when you described a fiancée?

You can either put her in a nursing home or explain your current marital position. Seems like either way you got some mommy issues

Honestly your mom probably just misses you. Some times for mothers it’s hard to let go and watch you grow up and become your own person. Maybe you two should spend some time with her. Ease her into it even more. Because even though you’ve grown up and are an adult, but in her eyes you’ll always be her child. But if things don’t change I’d sit down and have a serious conversation with her.

That sounds like my bfs mom who uses every excuse under the sun to make him come home. While he's paying for practically everything and has been taking care of her for years 🙄 don't let your mother treat you like a husband. It's not healthy.
