Today, my mother worked out that my boyfriend and I are having sex. Instead of confronting me about it, she now just sits and stares at me judgmentally whenever I'm in the same room as her, making me feel incredibly uncomfortable. FML

If she won't confront you about it, how can you be sure that's what she's upset over? Just genuinely curious!

No this begs the question of how old you actually are? And whether or not her stare is valid. If you were underage and having intercourse with your boyfriend and your mother has found out well sucks to be you. but if you're of age in your mothers giving you the stink eye because you and your boyfriend are having a little fun. She needs to get her own life and let you live yours.

confront her about it to get rid of the tension

This really depends on how old you are and whether or not you live in her house.

Your mom reminds me of my cat. Maybe your mom is just hungry or wants you to scratch under her chin.

Screw her. It's really no one else's business as long as you are being safe about it. Don't turn up with VD or a baby and everything will be gravy.

I know that in an ideal world, parents wouldn't mind that their underage kids - let's say 15 or 16 years old - had sex, under the condition they did it safe and not with the entire neighbourhood. But we don't live there and some parents go batshit crazy if they discover that their precious kid is making sweet and safe love to his/her partner of a couple months. So, no matter how much I would want to love the parent's authority, they can't forbid everything. And if they think they can, well, unpleasant surprises may follow.

51, that world is really only ideal to sexually active minors, not most adults. As a parent, I would much rather prefer that my children wait until they are adults to begin having sex. I would also prefer they be in a committed relationship with their partner for more than just "a couple" of months.

#51, OP is in Australia, here 16 is the legal age of consent for sex.

Parents who act like that Are making a huge mistake. There's nothing wrong with sex between two people who both want to do it, are aware of the different risks and protect themselves accordingly. It's nobody else's business as long as nothing illegal or dangerous is going on. You have nothing to be ashamed of, and all your mother is achieving is a bad relationship with her daughter. FYL

People keep saying it depends how old you are or if you're living at home, etc. No it doesn't. No matter what the circumstances, passive-aggressive judgmental staring is not the way to behave. She should talk to you, OP, and even if after that she still disagrees with your decision, she should accept that in life you are going to make your own choices.

Well since seen she knows what you're up to. Casually get up from your seat and grab your BF hand and excuse yourself to your bedroom

force the conversation with her, and if you want a little payback use excruciating details. being weird or passive aggressive back won't help.

Just look at her like your upset until you get some sort of responce out of her...so basically make her break the silence and then confront her as to why she's staring at you...act as if you don't know what's wrong mainly because you....that the best I can think of. sorry OP
