Today, my boyfriend told me that we wouldn't move in together as we had planned to do for a long time. His mother forbade it. He is 27. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after months of planning, my boyfriend told me he's changed his mind and doesn’t want to move with me to where I got a job. Why? He doesn’t want to live that far away from his mother. FML
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, my boyfriend couldn't go on a date with me because his mom said no. He's 23. FML
Today, my 24 year-old boyfriend said that he wanted to move out of our apartment, but also stay in a relationship. He's moving back in with his parents, over two hours away. 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 threw a fit because I "still" live with my mother at age 30. I bought her an apartment in my building and hired a live-in nurse because she is senile and permanently bedridden. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 8 years moved in with two other women. He's spent the past 2 years telling me he can't afford to move out of his parent's house. FML
Today, while I was looking for an apartment for my boyfriend and myself, he asked me how would I feel about his mom moving in together with us. FML
Today, my 23 year old boyfriend of 2 years was forced to dump me, over the phone, by his mother. FML
Today, the guy I've been seeing for a few months told me he couldn't stay overnight because his mom would yell at him for not coming home. We're both 30 and I didn't know he still lived at home. FML

If he's still tethered like that to his mother at 27, he doesn't sound ready for a committed relationship.

Although at age 27 it seems absurd, It's hard for some mothers to let go.

does he live with his mom still?

Only by his mother.

If he's gonna put his mum first in such a big way... Is he really worth living with?

Hahahaha!!!!! He sounds like a pussy. May be you should return his balls so he can use them to stand up to his mum!

Something tells me they're tucked tightly in mom's purse, not OP's.

Ha, I guess by your comment have never had a long term girl friend or wife.

I guess by your comment you've never felt mutual respect between yourself and a long-term girlfriend or wife.

Dude, I have been married for 12 years. My wife rules the house. And no where in the previous comment did I say it was a bad thing :)
MrConcise 35
Congrats, I'm happy for you. :) I just won't take part in a relationship where one half is greater than the other, and I don't think my comment had any correlation with what you mentioned.

You will understand one day my young friend :)

23- If that's the way you like your relationship, good for you! But not everyone's relationship has to be exactly like yours to be successful.

If by understand, you mean be in a healthy relationship where we both have respect for each other and I'm the leader my wife wants me to be, then sure. I bet you're going to tell me that you're endlessly happy next.

he should grow some balls

Tell him that, yes sometimes mothers know best, but there is a time when he needs to grow up and find his own way, because sometimes we know best instead.

Sounds like OPs boyfriend will be making x wing fighter sandwiches with his mom in no time

I'm curious as to if he still lives with his mother, if so you most likely should've seen it coming

he doesn't want to, he's just using his mom as an excuse.

Makes me wonder if the mother really forbid it, or if she is just an easy excuse for his cold feet.
