She Thinks Her Mom’s Boyfriend Has A Crush On Her, And His Behavior Has Made Her Feel Really Uncomfortable
This 23-year-old woman’s mother currently has a boyfriend, who is 45. And for a while now, the guy’s behavior has started to make her deeply uncomfortable.
It all began when her mom first started dating her boyfriend about one year ago.
Well, in the beginning, things actually seemed okay.
“But as time went on, I couldn’t help but feel that he was acting inappropriately towards me,” she recalled.
Apparently, the guy would often make remarks that just felt too personal or friendly. Sometimes, the comments were also just downright uncomfortable.
For example, her mom’s boyfriend had complimented her body before– which she thought was inappropriate.
It’s also not uncommon for him to insist that they hug for periods of time, which she thinks are longer than necessary.
“And the situation escalated when I began noticing him invading my personal space,” she added.
In fact, the guy would just linger in her bedroom, even though he didn’t have any reason for being in there. Her mom’s boyfriend also often looked at her in a weird way that made her creeped out.

On top of all that, the guy has “accidentally” walked in on her while she was taking a shower or using the bathroom, and while he walks past her, he will sometimes graze her with his hand!
Now, every time that happened, her mom’s boyfriend claimed it was a mistake and apologized. However, she still opted to start distancing herself from her mom’s boyfriend.
This didn’t go over well with her mom, though, who wound up getting pretty upset with her.
“My mom insists that he’s just being friendly and that I’m reading too much into it,” she revealed.
She has tried to talk to her mom about the guy’s behavior and how it makes her so uncomfortable, too. Yet, her mom just brushes it off and actually accuses her of trying to sabotage their relationship!
This has caused her relationship with her mom to become pretty strained. And now, she feels like she’s stuck between a rock and a hard place– choosing whether to protect herself or maintain a relationship with her mom.
“I’m torn and confused about what to do,” she vented.
This has left her wondering whether believing her mom’s boyfriend has a crush on her and distancing herself from them is really the wrong thing to do or not.
How would you feel if you were stuck in this strange situation? Do you think she feels uncomfortable for a reason and should trust her instincts? How should she handle this?
