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

So I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years 2 days ago.. I'm not coping very well, I miss him dearly and never meant for us break up! We lived together with his mum and were planning a child this year and on moving out.. Him and his mum are really close and so are me and his mum.. She's like a second mum to me! Anyway, I felt like I should tell his mum what had happened and explain why we broke up because I know he won't tell her all the ins and out.. So I texted her last night and told her everything which wasn't easy! She called me and said lets meet up tomorrow evening alone around the corner from there house. Should I do this? We broke up for a stupid reason, he cut me off like I'm no1 to him! It's my fault for us breaking up but I see what I've done now, everyone makes mistakes but I realise my mistakes and this has truly opened my eyes wide! Before you think I'm using his mum to get him back, I'm not I purely just want her to know what's happened and why! Am I wrong for meeting back up with my second mum?

aunt honesty agony auntYes do meet up with her and tell her what has happened, she might guide you through this, only you know the truth and sharing it with her could be a good step forward.

Don't live in hope that by meeting his mum that she might change his mind, it sounds to me like he might need time to think about things. It seems from your post that you know you made a mistake and am unsure if he has made a mistake as well but talk to his mum about it and see what she has to say. Hopefully she can guide you forward.

If in the long run he does not want to make your relationship work, then I suggest that you break off contact with his mum completely so that you can move on with your life and hopefully learn from this relationship. Good luck and all the best.

Honeypie agony auntI'd meet up with her, why not?

JUST don't expect her to fix the relationship and remember it takes two to end a relationship, to get to the point where it breaks down.

If you feel getting it off your chest is something you need to do, and SHE wants to listen, then do it.

Denizen agony auntWhy not meet her? You say she was a second mum to you. There is no reason why you shouldn't go on being friends. Keep any bitterness or recriminations out of the dialogue and all should go well. She will be the first to sympathise with you if he has been a pratt.
