I think hopeful needs to get in here. She's so nice with her advice. I'm that crazy auntie who'd say the first thing that pops into my head! But, a coupla tidbits:
-hash this mommy ish out now. Be firm and direct. Let him know about your feelings. Mamas are forever. You don't want to be in competition with her. You will lose. It's up to bf to keep the peace in that regard. If he doesn't have a problem with her behavior or asks you to "just grin and bear it" then.......guess you have to ask yourself if youcan live with this situation.
-make sure your bc is on lock. No babies needed.
-move and chill with him for a year if you want to, but understand why the ladies are cautioning against it. Me? I wouldn't move out of state with a bf or even fh. Dh only status gets me to pack up my life and move. Time has a way of getting away from you. Do you really want to waste a year of your young adult life? What's your career field? Are you able to easily transition to another state?
-why has he turned down opportunities before? He didn't want to be too far from momma???
-why doesn't she have a life? Why is she moving because he is?
I have 2 sons and love them dearly, but I wouldn't want them stuck on me like that when they supposed to be grown.
