He Stood Up For His Girlfriend After She Got Into An Argument With His Mother, But His Girlfriend Is Mad He Didn’t Give Her A Chance To Fight Her Own Battle
This 27-year-old guy has been dating his 25-year-old girlfriend, Mia, for about five years now. And apparently, she is the most incredible person he has ever met.
He claims that Mia is funny, kind to a fault, and very smart. At the same time, though, she is also a pretty shy person who has some issues with confrontation.
Now, his girlfriend is currently seeing a therapist to work on both her problems with confrontation as well as some other issues. And since seeking out therapy, Mia has reportedly gained a lot more confidence.
“Except when it comes to my mom,” he revealed.
According to him, his mom is one of “those mothers” who never thinks that anyone is good enough for their “baby boy.”
That’s why he only ever really sees her during visits for major holidays like Christmas and Easter. Then, throughout the year, they just communicate via a handful of Facetime calls.
He admitted that he, of course, loves his mom. But, he just does not enjoy spending time with her– particularly due to the fact that she has issues with Mia.
That’s also why, whenever he sees his mom, his girlfriend usually does not accompany him.
This year, though, his entire extended family decided to visit. And Mia actually wanted to meet some of his cousins for the first time. So, she decided to join him.

“She also told me very specifically that she wanted to be the one to handle her problems with my mom,” he recalled.
Anyway, he was fine with that, and they went to the family gathering together. Everything was going really well, too, until he sat down to drink a beer with one of his cousins and heard his mom start yelling.
He immediately booked it toward all of the commotion and found his mom arguing with Mia. Once he walked in, his girlfriend spotted him, too.
And while Mia told him to stay out of it, he could tell that she was trying hard to hold back tears.
So, he tried to contain himself. But after his mom asked what he saw in “some floozy,” he could not sit back and watch anymore.
Instead, he stepped in– and got into a pretty heated back-and-forth argument with his mom.
Eventually, this fight ended with him giving his mom an ultimatum– either she accepts the fact he loves Mia and treats his girlfriend with respect, or he goes no contact.
His mom still has not given him an answer to his ultimatum, though. And once he dropped that bomb, he and Mia decided to leave and get a hotel room for the rest of the trip.
But as soon as they got in the car to drive away, his girlfriend was actually really angry with him. Apparently, Mia claimed that his mom did not respect her because she was never given a chance to fight her own battles.
However, he pointed out how his girlfriend couldn’t just expect him not to get involved when she was so upset.
Still, it appears that he and Mia just do not see eye to eye because tensions have been high ever since they got home.
So now, he is wondering whether he should have just left the situation alone and let Mia handle it on her own.
Can you understand why Mia wanted to fight her own battle? At the same time, was the argument also about him and his relationship with his mom? Should he have stayed out of it, or did he have a right to get involved?
