writes:I have been dating my bf for a year now, and his parents are an issue. His mother more so, in the beginning she wouldnt let us hold hands in her house. She says she likes me and when I go over, shes always glad to see me. Untill my bf and I fought over something trivial and stupid, and I found out that his parents DONT like me, in fact, they HATE me. They say Im controlling, confusing their son, and extremely selfish and a bitch. Over Chirstmas, he was onyl allwoed to see me for 3 hours. Yes, better than nothing but still. He's 18, for god sakes. He came to my house for New Years, and his parents were PISSED. They called him a liar when my parents decided to stay home with us instead of going out, she called me 'it' 'her' and 'she'. She threw a tantrum and went "WHATEVER. See you at 130. You had better not be late." and so he got home, said Happy New Years and nobody said anything to him. Next day, he was going to come over so we could bake together, and as soon as he mentioned he was on his way to my house, his parents threw a fit and didn't let him come over, guilt tripping him severely. Were hanging by a thread here. I need some help. Im so sick of his parents.

Clearly his mother has a problem with her little boy becoming a man, and she's worried about losing him. It's a well known fact that the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law relationship is the most strained of all. But you don't' have to take this at all. If you really love your boyfriend, then the best thing to do is act really nice, because you'll come out smelling or roses while she will come out looking like the wife of Satan. Then you can say you tried, while she has no excuse. And that's a way of winning. But at some point, your boyfriend does need to man up a bit. And if he doesn't, you'll need to consider moving on. Don't be second best to mother.
