Boyfriend's mom problems! Advice?

[babycarrot]

I've been dating this guy for 2 years now, and he is 18 now. For our entire relationship his mom has controlled everything! And although extremely frustrating for me, and I know at least somewhat frustrating to him, he never stands up to her. Like tonight we were talking, and all of a sudden his mom gets up and yells at him for being on the phone, and instead of telling her that we were talking about important stuff (which we were), he tells me he has to get off the phone so he doesnt get grounded, he is 18!!!! he should not even think about being grounded! i swear that his mother just hates me, because with other girls he had so much more freedom. Although that bothers me, the worst of it is that he never stands up to her forcing him to cut his hair or having super strict curfews. Give me some sort of advice or understanding, PLEASE!

Okay he is 18 and you are ?
He should stand up and say hey mom im talking to my g/f. please respect the privacy, but at the same time he is under there roof. So its 50/50.... He should advise the mom and dad that he using the phone talkin to you. I look at it this way, hes 18, if he works, tell him to move out. I left when I was 18, best thing i did. My parents respect me more b/c i grew up faster. Moms are like that though about there boys. My mother was the same way, its has to do with them letting go of these children, especailly boys...ya know, if u want to chat let me know

Luckily, “HIS MOTHER’ wont be the problem when you are married. Then it will be YOUR-MOTHER-IN-LAW



I can se the attraction though. If he is this easily cowed by his mother, as his wife you should be able to whip him into shape in no time, assuming MOM will let you.

He needs a spine. How's yours?
