Woman breaks with boyfriend after he asks if mom can’t attend her birthday dinner

Should I have to let my boyfriend mom come to my birthday dinner? That was the question that a Reddit user put in need of advice.

The 20-year-old woman explained that she planned to celebrate her birthday at a roof restaurant with her friends and boyfriend, whom she has been with for over two years at the post.

Two hours before dinner, her boyfriend texted her, “Hello, my mom comes with me, cool?” The woman found that she didn’t even know that her boyfriend’s mother was in town.

While the poster had no major problems with her mother, she explained that she “calls him several times a day, shows up without a message and comments on how no woman will ever take care of him as she does.”

The user texted his boyfriend back and said, “I would prefer if it was just us tonight, Babe. This is something I planned with people I’m close.” The boyfriend responded by saying, “Wow, seriously? It’s just dinner. She wanted to come to support you.”

The user held and would not let his boyfriend’s mother come, which resulted in him skipping the celebration completely. At the same time, his mother published passive-aggressive things online that “Some people do not know how to appreciate others who really care about them” and “God does not like ugly.”

Many RedDitors agreed to the poster and agreed that she made the right call and should re -evaluate the relationship she had with her boyfriend and noted that it feels like he is putting her mother over her.

“If he can’t go to a birthday dinner without pulling his mother as an emotional chaperon, he is not ready for an adult relationship. Op made the right call, she needs a partner, not someone who needs mom approval to work. Time to smooth up to a man, not a man-child,” wrote a user.

Another one, “just running, this will never be better.”

In an update, the poster added that after reading the advice from the comments, “decided to break up with him.”

“I called him and let him know that things won’t work,” she wrote. “He cried, and I felt sad, but I had to release him.”

To whom a person replied: “Good update. He is already in a primary relationship and that is not with you.”
