A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi everyone!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 yrs and lived together 2 and a half yrs! I love him very much! Im 22 hes 21

His parents live about 1/2 hour away and he sees them most weeks hes quite close to them, however recently ive started to get a bit taken aback! It appears that hes always been closer to his dad and in the past few years whenever we would go over to see them he would say hi to his mum and kiss her on the cheek which is fine and normal then go off and do boy stuff with his dad! He would go up to his mum a few times while we were there and hug her out of the blue and say how sweet she is and kiss her on the cheek. He would also go and sit in between his parents like a little boy but i though nothing of it until recently... We went to a really nice restaurant with his parents and he was sitting next to me but halfway through the eve he went to sit next to his mum and started holding her hand and hugging and kissing her telling her how sweet she is and that he loves her... I thought that was a bit odd!

On another occasion me and him were in his car and a song came on and he was like "aw this song reminds me of my mum" and on another few occasions hes said that im like his mum and i remind him of his mum (not a great compliment) i said thats not a good thing to compare me with a boy should never compare their gf to their mum! He got all defensive and said "why whats wrong with her"

His mum is the sort of woman who is quite lazy and relys on her husband and son to do everything shes an older lady and was 48 when she had my bf and she has two other sons from a previous marriage who are both in their 40s.

I am not jealous of her by any means shes a lovely lady i just think its a bit weird...

So_Very_Confused agony auntwhy shouldn't a boy compare his gf to his mom if he likes her and adores her...

I would think you would call me quite lazy now too.

I'm 52 now and my back is very severely damaged... sometimes my son's have to help me walk... so I would depend on them to do things if they were around for me... it looks like lazy but perhaps it's not.... she's a bit older than me and I expect that by the time I am her age my kids will be pushing me in a wheelchair....

I really REALLY get ticked when young folks who do not live with these people make judgements on a person...

you say "he's a lovely lady" in one breath, and in another you say she's quite lazy... they don't seem to go together...

sounds fine to me... so what's really bugging you?

eyeswideopen agony auntI don't think you should made a big deal over this especially to your boyfriend. He's just very attached to his parents, very common at his age. You know they always say one should see how their boyfriends treat their mothers if you want to know how they will treat you. So how does he treat you.
