Her Ex-Boyfriend Is Now Dating Her Mom
A 26-year-old woman hasn’t historically had a wonderful relationship with her own mom, mainly because her mom is bipolar.
Growing up, her mom would have really bad bipolar episodes, which led to her cutting her mom out of her life for a number of years.
She did end up reconciling with her mom, who has been a part of her life again for several years now.
Anyway, 2 years back, she began going out with a man named Tom, and she thought things between them were excellent.
Tom was good-looking and kind, and she couldn’t see anything wrong with him. Eventually, Tom asked if he could meet her mom and dad.
She wasn’t completely comfortable with this, and she did let Tom know, but he kept on pestering her about it.
She finally caved and arranged for Tom to meet her mom.
“Anyway, when he met mum he started making uncomfortable comments like “wow you definitely got your good looks from your mother” and other cringey s*** like that,” she explained.
“My mum and he became close, and eventually it looked like he was more hyped about seeing her than seeing me (This made me extremely insecure because despite her age she’s still really good looking).”

“They always laughed and had a great time together and I was sort of the third person in the background.”
Wow, imagine third-wheeling it up in your own relationship because you’re being outshined by your mom.
Obviously, she was not happy with how Tom and her mom were making her feel about their closeness, so she thought it would be a good idea to confront them about it.
She pulled them aside and talked to them individually, and she was surprised to see that they not only brushed her off; they continued on with their closeness.
Additionally, Tom began insisting they had to spend more time around her mom, which they did.
“So a few months ago, the three of us have a couple of drinks and I pass out relatively quickly,” she said.
“I woke up in my mum’s bed in the middle of the night (???) and went downstairs to see what happened.”
Well…she walked in on her mom and Tom and she was appalled. She left and cut her mom back out of her life, along with Tom.
She moved into her dad’s place, went to therapy, and blocked Tom on all her social media profiles.
“Anyway, two days ago I received a message from an old friend of mine,” she continued. “She showed me screenshots of my now ex-boyfriend Tom’s Instagram account.”
“He was posting pictures with MY MUM and it was evident that they are in a relationship.”

Yeah, so if Tom getting it on with her mom wasn’t bad enough, they’re currently dating one another. Yikes.
She’s thinking of maybe saying something to her mom and Tom, but she’s on the fence about it.
Is it best for her to let things go and try to move on with her life, even though she cannot stop thinking about Tom and her mom?
