I've been in a relationship with this guy for a year. He is 24 and 1 year from graduating college. He still lives at home. I still stay at home too. Neither of us can afford an apartment. Because we both still live at home, I understand the "My Roof, My Rules" thing. But his mom takes it to another level.
Say we have a fun day planned. We're going to the zoo and the museum. His mom will call and make sure we left for the zoo and then call to make sure we made it. She asks him to call when he's leaving. If too much time goes by, then she will call him first to see if we left. He is always checking in with her and she is always calling to make sure he hasn't forgotten to call. She will continue to do this until he has made it home. Say for some reason he doesn't answer the phone. She will call other family members to see if he is there or if they've talked to him.
I can see him get very annoyed sometimes but he doesn't do anything to stop it. When I tell him to say something to her, he says that she's much better than she used to be and that he's had this problem with all of his last girlfriends too and is tired of hearing it. He says has tried talking to her but she never changes.
I really don't know what to do because I really love him. But I dont want to be married and have his mom calling the house every 5 minutes. Sigh. He tries to make it seem like it's normal. What do you guys think?
