Someone once cut me off on the road one time intentionally while I was driving my mom and I to Thanksgiving dinner. I flipped him off and he decided to pull in front of me and come to a dead stop in the middle of the high way. My mom hit her head against the dash because I had to break so hard.
I trailed this guy for 15 minutes flashing my high beams on him. He finally pulled off the free way and stopped at a red light. I sprinted to his car and cracked his windshield with my hand screaming at him. Two grown ass men in their 30s that almost killed me and my mother on Thanksgiving.
If it were just me I most likely would of just kept going my way and maybe called the police but as soon as my mom was in danger and when he hit her face on the dash I just turned into fight or flight mode.
Lost my temper forsure and if he would of gotten out of the car I would of beaten the dude till someone could finally get me off of him. Not the best way I should of handled it but I can't describe the feeling of being protective over the ones that I love.
It's not just men, anyone would be defensive. You're "attacking" a loved family member and insulting them. Unless they don't have a good relationship, most people are going to be offended. Now you were joking around with him so you'd think he would know you weren't likely serious in which case this reaction is a bit over the top. Maybe there something about his mother you don't know that must have struck a nerve. Just apologize to him it a sincere calm voice and reiterate that you were joking and you won't do it again. He should calm down.
of course! what's wrong with you? I love my mama to bits even if she and I fight sometimes if anyone ever insulted my mama I'd break all hell loose on their ass, same with my papa, don't insult parents. boys are also usually closer to their mothers growing up, they show more love to the mom rather than the dad. it's a preference thing just like girls usually are more you know "daddy's girl". boys are usually "mama's boys".
I would of done the same if my boyfriend said this about my Mother. I would actually break up with him. Yes I hit a red flag big time. Even as a joke this is extremely disrespectful towards the woman who gave him life. I would of reacted the same if it was an insult towards my father or any other member of my family.
That's one topic not to joke about.
Yes it's psychological. Freud has a few good theories on the topic

A tidbit of advice never insult a mans mother, it's a defensive topic for most men and it's a instinctive reaction, besides how do you accidentally insult a mans mother?
Did he overreact? yes he did but what you did was extremely disrespectful and rude.
Another tidbit of advice you can tell a lot about a guy by how he treats and talks about his mother. a good man treats his mother right and respectfully, and again remember don't insult a guys mother, it's not a good idea I know if someone insulted mine I'd take that quite seriously also remember that you'll be a mother one day to.
>calls boyfriend's mom hoe
>doesn't realize aforementioned hoe pushed out current boyfriend
>puzzled why boyfriend is mad
My mother was pregnant with me for 9 months, gave birth to me, protected and nourished me for many years, and always loved me. I am grown up and realize it is in good part because of my mother. If you want to be a bitch and call her a hoe, you are history.
And what kind of chicken-shit crap is that about you pretending it was an accident? That does not happen by accident.
you called his mother a whore? and you did it "acidentley" ?
I mean yeah i understnad that some people dont like their mothers but even then man its bit of a no fly zone subject with a lot of guys since they love the human being that both brought them into this world and also helped them to grow which enables such a strong type of bond in certian mothers and sons.
As for as hitting the red flag? Nope you didn't hit the red flag you 300 kicked it over and whizzed right by it acording to that reaction and have some really big making up for it.
I mean think about it if it was a role reversal about a family member you held really dear and they insulted them, you would hate it i would assume.
UHM.
You fucked up.
He didn't overreact.
He didn't hit you. You should thank your lucky stars. Its obvious he has a good relationship with his mom and if you were a good girlfriend you'd probably know this.
Its your fault.
Someday maybe you'll be a mom, and you'll have a little boy and he'll have an SO who thinks you're a bitch. Would you agree with her? I guess you should, because you're being one right now.
so defensive because you called his mother a hoe?
get real. if a girlfriend called my mother a hoe she'd be my ex-girlfriend soon after. it's not that he's being so defensive but you rather you called teh woman who brought him into this world a sex worker
you owe him an apology and you need to grow up
If you ever have a son you'll understand as you will want to be the only and most important person in his life, you'll hate most of his GF's cause they remind you of your flaws, and try setting him up with nice girls that he hates, lol you'll see one day why he acted that way.
u Yes, you did. You never EVER insult a man's mother, even jokingly. She carried him and gave birth to him. She was the first one to love him and set the standard for the kind of women he should have in his life. There is a special and inseparable bond between mother and son.
Oh come on, because if I called my girlfriend's mother a hoe it would all be cool, happy and dandy?
You messed up. Simple as that. Most guys in my experience take more offense at insults towards their family (entire family, not just mothers) than insults towards their person.
How do you "accidentally" call someone's mom a hoe? If someone called my mom a hoe even jokingly, I'd take it personally. Not as personally/aggressively as he did, but still, I'd tell the person off.
The both of you were out of line.
Depends on how you said it. Did you say it jokingly or sternly? Personally I wouldn't like my girlfriend saying that. If she said without seriousness I'd take it easy and be like 'whatever' and let it go. Since you and him were "joking around," yeah he got too butt hurt.
Um who the hell calls their SO's mom a hoe?
Yes he over reacted but what you said was just incredibly stupid...
You done goofed.
Never, never, never, EVER say anything bad about someone's mother. Once upon a time, that used to be grounds for an honor duel to the death.
WTF! i would be pissed too. That is no way to speak about your boyfriends mum. I mean come on peeps where is the respect in this generation!!!
what kindve trash doesn't love and protect its parents?
probably some white trash from back grass of nowhere.
id leave my wife if she didn't respect my parents.
white america has an issue and its not taking care of parents when they get old... double edge side of individualism and overly pushing independence...
my borhter is a couselor and tells me mental issues common with certain groups etc...
lol i like how both A and B imply that you are defensive about your mother as a guy. i am not. you can talk all the shit about her you want. i don´t care.
in my opinion this is mostly a problem for turkish/arabian guys. not european or American so much.
Your question should be does my boyfriend have anger problems. Almost came to blows? That's disturbing.
Quick question: Why'd you call his mom a hoe?
Most guys are sensitive with their moms though.
I guess the problem is not about why men are so sensitive about their mothers. The thing is you should not joke with anyone like saying their mother a hoe under any circumstances. Its about manner and respect.
The woman that has had a chance to brainwash him from birth is typically going to have a much stronger hold on him than any other woman. The exception is with guys that hate their mothers, which most women prefer to avoid.
