Girl, they don't live together and it's just once a month. What are 2-3 days in 30 days?

Haaa you don dey understand. The problem is not his mum coming around sometimes when I am with him, but she being around all the time.

I am desperate. These things are so simple for me. They are primary notions I take for granted.
I have a question for you. . . is his mum mean to you?
If she is, you better buckle up.
If not, suck it up and get with your man regardless of his mama's presence.

You guys were putting the cart before the horse . . . infact you didnt even have a horse and you were polishing your cart.

Why discussing going to live together with a man when he hasnt officially declared you a couple to his friends and family? Na wa o.

maybe the first borns' you know. wink

no no! I meant as in engaged. His mum knows I am his girlfriend. Even his friends does. The first time I visited him he introduced me as his girl so that's not the issue. What I am talking about, when I say official, I mean being engaged.

Even my father knows we are dating and asks of him all the time although he still hasn't learnt his name! grin

It doesnt matter . . . you know how many "girlfriends" a man will introduce to his mother before he finally decides on "The One"?

Mothers are not stupid, they can tell when a man is serious about a woman or not. The "girlfriend" tag is no longer anything to take seriously.

Did you read where I wrote "we weren't matured enough"? I don't feel ready to take on such a huge responsibility and I also feel he needs to clarify things too. I am not so foolishly in love.

That's what I'm telling her. She has no right to demand to have him all to herself unless she's married to him and that's why I'm asking her if her ex's mum is mean to her. If she is, she should carry her load and go the other way.
michelin89:

So she's nice. I guess you just have a problem being comfortable.
Why can't your guy come and visit you? Why do you have to be the one going there all the time if his mum is always around him?

Letz be honest. . . . . .U cannot seperate a man and his mother at courtship/dating stage of any relationship.
Of course, a man should never be asked to choose between the woman who raised him and the woman who shags him.
Besides, we are just hearing one side of the story. . . . .If Michelin witnesses him giving in to his mother's unreasonable requests, i am sure that she musta also witnessed him saying NO to his mother.
If that is the case. . . . . . .The dude is not a Mummy's Boy.

He's an ex boyfriend now, why is this even an issue now?

Good point for you to think about Mich.

KarmaMod:

I don't think that's what she meant.

More like give her a time when it's just them

I understand, but she mentioned the guy is in his early 20s.

- first off, it seems he's too young, is not mature enough for the kind of relationship she wants and still depends on his mother to do a lot of thinking for him.

- The mother is obviously not convinced her son is ready for a committed relationship yet.

I don't want to start discussing if living together is better than being married because I have got my views on that.

All I want to clarify is that:
we are dating.
His mums knows it.
My dad knows it
We have plans, even though they are not official.

But I am having problems being comfortable whenever I am with him.

j-girl:

So she's nice. I guess you just have a problem being comfortable.

Exactly! I don't know how to behave or what to do around her. Should i ask her if she wants something to drink? She might think I am living there while I am just on a visit. Goshhhhhhh! Somebody help meeee!

We alternate. He comes to me and I go to him.

Its not your house so sit down quietly, be respectful to her and leave her son to handle any issues if he's really serious about you. My mom would always ask me if i felt she should leave . . . of course i said yes!  grin

Tell your boy to grow up quickly if you still like him.

Michelin,

He's an ex boyfriend now, why is this even an issue now?

We had a quarrel and we left it like that. No one said it's over; just that he couldn't meet my terms. I supposed it's left to me to decide whether to live up with it or not.
Re: How Do You Handle A Mummy's Boy? by KarmaMod(f): 5:58pm On Nov 11, 2008
I can't just go and visit her because since he has not made it official that he wants to get serious with me, i don't want to act desperate by licking his mum's ass to get her approval

This is true. My parents have been singing this into our heads for the longest. since 10 sef.  tongue

guys, let's imagine that you don't have a girlfriend. na girl dey cause all these reprisals, ba? ok make we delete her for picture.

would you enjoy your mum coming around every spare second you're at home and eating up all of your personal space? i doubt it. you love her very much, no doubt, but it's called personal space. you can't share that with any other living person in this world (except your wife). i couldn't take it, my mum being all up in my space ALL of the time. my mum isn't like that (well, not really cheesy cheesy). if she were i'd give her subtle reminders -
your husband misses you
you're not treating my father well - you're neglecting him
go and look after your husband
you're supposed to be honey mooning aren't you?

but i cannot stand her being in ALL of my space, ALL of the time. period. and i aint even a guy. guys are usually the ones who want more independence, or am i wrong?

You have answered me. Prepare to be uncomfortable when you go to him and thank God you're comfortable when he comes to you.
I know what you mean. LOL! I hate it whenever I go to a guy's house and meet his mother. I don't know how to handle myself but it's a good thing they all know how to get me to be comfortable with them.
What you should do is you should try to talk to his mum and ask her more about her day. Have little discussions with her to the point where you can laugh and have a good time with her. That will make your ex love you more.
