Today, my boyfriend stormed out after I suggested to him that his relationship with his mother is maybe a little weird. Apparently having regular, hour-long phone discussions about your penis is a perfectly normal thing for a 23-year-old to have with his mother. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that my 29-year-old boyfriend won't stay the night at my house because he lives at home with his parents and doesn't want to have "the discussion" with his mom about me. FML
Today, I was having the "sex talk" with my mom because I really want to have sex with my boyfriend. My dad overheard us and is sulking. The only reason he hasn’t said anything like, “I’ll kill the boy” or, “Not until you’re married” is because he’s scared of my mom. Now everything is awkward at home FML
Today, my boyfriend's mum said she won't stop us from seeing each other, yet she'll only allow me to see him for 30 minutes a day, for 2 days a week, and gets mad if he sees me for any longer, because "mother knows best." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had a fight about his parents. We're both 23-year-old university students who aren't allowed in his bedroom unless the door is completely open. Nothing he says to his parents will change this. FML
Today, my boyfriend couldn't go on a date with me because his mom said no. He's 23. FML
Today, I watched my boyfriend have a full on conversation with his penis. He also talks to his penis nicer than he talks to me. FML
Today, I found out what's worse than having the "sex talk" with your parents: having the "sex talk" with your boyfriend, when he's 23, right before you were supposed to have sex. FML
Today, my boyfriend said angrily that he should never have gotten together with me, that he should have known a woman with divorced parents would have daddy issues, and never be quite right in the head. His own parents are divorced by the way, and his mom is extremely overbearing. FML
Today, I had to explain to my mother that it's inappropriate to hit on my boyfriend when his parents are over for dinner. FML
Today, during an argument between me and my boyfriend, he called for his mom. She came up and told us both off and told us to stop screaming, as if we were kids. We are both well over 30. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

the original mother ******

Some guys (usually Italians) get extremely close with their mothers because their mothers baby them throughout their lives and don't know how to live independently of them. My brother is the same way. My mom babies him and caters to his every whim but it's only going to ruin his ability to have healthy relationships when he gets older. It annoys the hell out of me that my mother obviously has an extremely unhealthy relationship with her son and whenever I mention it to him or her I always get yelled at so I feel your pain OP.

maybe it's Norman Bates in the future

#63 I know what you mean. My mum is far too soft on my brothers most of the time. She'll make a rule, he'll complain and suddenly it doesn't apply to him! I've even seen him have a hissy fit because "there's no food" and makes my mum make him something! If I was to do that she'd be like "Tough, you won't be eating then." Seriously pisses me off!
wardgustavo 14
Exactly...(though im not Italian) i am very close to my mom. Maybe not as close as that guy...but close enough

wait.. this isn't normal? my life is a lie!!!

Yah you might need to leave....like now...
KillSwitch96 18
Nah she'll be fine... Her boyfriend already left!

Why don't you tell Oedipus to cool it before things get even crazier.

If your boyfriend starts plotting the murder of his father, you might want to start to worry, OP.

Talking to Dad about a possible medical problem down there, maybe. But Mom? Yeeeeeaaaaahhh, nothing short of weird.
Sigilwen 24
Talking to dad about down there for and hour? Just as weird unless he's a doctor.

Maybe mom is a doctor. My mom is a nurse and I talk with her at length about 'personal' stuff. Details are vital for a proper examination and diagnosis, especially with a medical professional. It could very well take an hour, including talking about what to do in the future, if it happens again, if other symptoms show up, etc. The 10 minute doctor visit you get with an appointment really isn't worth crap.

Are you OP's boyfriend?
Kahli21 15
Uh... me? No..... I'm a woman, and I have no idea who the OP or her bf are.
primadonna9396 16
I doubt the OP would consider this FML-worthy if bf's mom was a penisologist or whatever. After all, if that were the case, OP would already know about any issues with the purple helmeted yogurt slinger and bf's mom would be the logical person to ask.
thxnder 14
I suggest you either confront him or leave him, OP. That really isn't normal.
shorty6823 28
She did confront him...
Shrouds 14
and he left.
MorkaneBloodrage 16
Something definitely isn't right there.

I would help the boyfriend. If these types of things have happened since he was a child, he wouldn't recognize it as strange or abuse. It sounds very inappropriate. I would read up on it, OP.

There's nothing wrong with a mama's boy... But this is not normal!
