Mama Drama

[whywhowhen]

[FONT=Times New Roman]My bf of eleven months recently moved from Dallas to DC, so we would have the opportunity to have a “real relationship”. Prior to leaving with me, he lived with his parents. After graduating college in 2004, he moved back home, and basically sat around the house all day looking at porn and dating multiple women. I didn’t know this until we were well into our long distant relationship. To make a long story short, I helped him find a wonderful job in DC, and everything is going well. Except for the fact that his mother calls him at least 4 times per day, and if he doesn’t answer, she’ll call 20 times until he picks up his phone. She’ll also leave manipulative messages telling him his nephew misses him and wants to talk. His nephew is five, and she’s calling after mid-night. The lady is psycho and a huge control freak. My bf is very protective of his mother, so I tiptoe around the issue. I don’t know how to address the issue properly. I think it’s wonderful for a young man to have a close relationship with his parents, but his mother is intrusive. His mother also paid his cell phone bill, but when he moved to DC, I made him get a new phone of his own, and cancel his mothers cell phone. His mother also pays his car insurance, which is stopping this month, because I gave him a long speech about learning to be self-sufficient. I know he’s trying, but his mothers phone calls are driving me crazy! Is his mother’s behavior normal? [/FONT]

How did she feel about him moving in with you, and your relationship in general? If you guys met online, she might be really uncomfortable with the relationship as a whole. Or...is she normally just a control freak?!
