Search Results: dating anniversaries

THIS IS REALLY NONE OF MY BUSINESS BUT I'M CURIOUS SO I'M ASKING ANYWAY.

My friend has a new boyfriend. Their two month anniversary is actually today so they're quite new at dating each other.

In any case, they spend the night in his room (we're in college) every once in a while but they do not have sex, or so she says.

But here's the thing - his parents call him every morning.

Is that normal?

Like his mom calls him daily and when he told her my friend had spent the night they made him drive all the way home (2 hour drive) to talk about it in person.

He Skypes with his mom for three hours a day every day.

Is this normal for a 21 year old college junior?

See, to me, it's screaming "Momma's Boy" and I'd be high tailing it out of there so fast lol. Nothing wrong with being close to your parents but really? His mother controls his every move.

My friend complains to me all the time about how her boyfriend can't do anything (go to basketball games/go to lunch/etc.) because his mom told him he needs to study.

Is it normal for parents to have such a hold on their sons at this age?

I mean, I talk to my parents maybe once every other week and that's only to tell them when I plan on coming home next or to tell them that I need to set up an appointment when I'm back in town or something.

But maybe I'm the weird one. Is it normal to be in such constant and intimate contact with parents when you're a 21 year old male college student?
