Not many women want to be caught up in a love triangle, jostling with another adult for their partner’s love and attention. When the other adult is your boyfriend’s or husband’s mother, it adds a whole new dimension and level of frustration to the equation. Don’t get us wrong. It’s great for a guy to have a close relationship with his mommy. But when the mother becomes possessive or jealous of the time their son is spending with a significant other, “Houston, we have a problem!”
One woman has shared how her boyfriend’s mother quite literally tried to come between them. She stole her seat at the guy’s birthday dinner, claiming it was to see how well her son’s girlfriend would deal with “a little separation.” What she didn’t expect was a permanent separation. But that’s exactly what happened after the girlfriend stormed out. The woman is now wondering if she overreacted.
