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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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

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

It seems is FML is full of momma's boys. Honestly though, I'd sit him down and have a very serious talk with him. That is if you truly care and I'm assuming you do since you were going to live together. He needs to grow up and make his OWN decision, like, 8 years ago. Good luck, OP!

Where did you first meet him, the Bates Motel?

I thought of Norman Bates too! Hey, OP, if you ever see your boyfriend wearing a dress and a wig, run, girl!

Maybe when you do get to move in together, his mom will give you his balls back as a house warming present?

you don't want to end up with a spineless man

If he's not willing to move in with you, maybe you could discuss where he sees the relationship going in the next few years. If he's commitment oriented, this relationship may be salvageable. If he doesn't plan on marrying you, then it's time to move on.

#27 He said "Es leben hoch die Muttersöhnchen!" Just kidding, Benmantha's basically saying that the guy is just a mama's boy.

She. I'm female. But other than that, you're basically right, #48. It means pretty much "Yey to all the Mama's boys!".

You've gotta persuade him of you know what I mean??

It's pretty disturbing if you think you need to use sex to lure a man away from his mother.

Is your boyfriend Howard Wolowitz?

Bonus points if OP's actual name was Bernadette.

Maybe it's a sign to move on before things got too serious
leogachi 15
I'm thinking since they had planned on moving in together for a long time, it's already pretty serious.

you should probably talk to him OP, it's a bad idea to not communicate in a realationship.
