Question - (19 September 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 22 September 2008)
A female United States age , *anag writes:

I have been seeing this guy for 6 months now. He has a best friend that is an older lady who he has known for over 10 years. He says she is like a mom to him. Every time she comes around she or he creates drama and he ends up asking me to leave. Of coarse this hurts my feelings. As soon as she is gone he calls me and we end up back together again. She tells him lies to get him against me and I have had it. I am very angry with him that he has such little respect for me but at the same time I feel like I should respect their friendship considering they have been friends for so long and I also realize that it would be a losing situation for me to try and hate on her. Although that is what she does to me. He believes the things she says about me and it causes us to fight. What should I do?

That's really good of you to be so understanding but if I were you Id just give him an ultimatum.

You just have to stop taking him back. Tell him you are sick of her ruining things and him always taking her side.

Yes they are friends, but that does not mean she gets to decide who he gets to date. Her jealousy is just ridiculous.

Tell him to grow up, be a big boy and when he's cut the apron strings then he can call you and you might still be around.

He's just going to carry on in this cycle if you let him.

Take charge and get tough. She is not his mother, you are not going to marry into her family, she does not have to accept you.

Good Luck!! xx
