There is a bit of a psychological challenge over here. Can you guys help me solve it? I would love to read some different perceptions on this..
My boy is smart, sweet, neat, great at sports, he cooks, he's really handsome and most importantly of all, very easy-going and friendly, so everybody likes him.
If I had a son like that, I would be such a happy mom. Yet his mom never approves of him whatever he does. According to her, the fact that he cooks and does the laundry and cleans windows in the flat is automatic. Whatever he does, it is never good enough, and she even makes jokes of him in front of me. He just smiles it away.
Onto his attention seeking behavior - for example he likes to sing in public, play football in the subway or dance on a table in a club. Guys admire his sports skills, and girls admire his dancing and his looks. He didn't however have a girlfriend for a year, because none of the girls were interesting enough to him, apparently till he got to know me. I could say I won him over by not being interested at first and making him wait.
Till the last weekend we were so happy together, but something has clearly changed now. He got a bit distant, and I feel that he is having hard time coping with the fact I often get more attention than him. Maybe he feels like he is even losing his place. What do I do about this? Should I substitute for his mom and attention from others by being more affectionate and compliment him more etc? On the other hand he fell in love with me because I was not like all the other girls.
