Her Boyfriend’s Mom Wanted To Tag Along On A Weekend Getaway For Their Anniversary, And When She Said No, Her Boyfriend Called Her Selfish
It’s amazing how hard it is for some people to take a hint, particularly when it comes to third-wheeling couples.
For instance, this 19-year-old girl has been looking forward to a trip with just her boyfriend for a long time, and now, his mother has actually invited herself along.
She and her 22-year-old boyfriend, Jake, have been dating for nearly a year, and their anniversary is quickly approaching. That’s why they began planning a romantic weekend getaway months ago to celebrate their relationship milestone.
“It’s supposed to be just the two of us relaxing at a cute cabin we rented by the lake,” she said.
Yet, out of the blue, Jake’s mother found out about the trip and suddenly wanted to come along.
She claimed to think the woman was extremely sweet, but she also admitted that his mom was quite overbearing.
So, upon learning about their travel plans, Jake’s mom started going on about how stressed out she’d been recently and how much she could use a break.
Plus, his mom brought up how she’d always wanted to visit their intended destination and believed it would be a great way to “bond” with her more.
“And Jake, being the mama’s boy he is, casually mentions it to me like it’s no big deal, saying it would be fun to have her join us,” she revealed.

She immediately shot down that idea and told her boyfriend no. After all, she was hoping to have a special vacation with just him.
Well, rather than understanding where she was coming from, Jake became really upset and actually called her out for being selfish! Apparently, he thought his mom wouldn’t be a third wheel.
In response, she pointed out how Jake’s mom already kept dropping by unannounced or constantly calling them, which is precisely why she wanted some quality alone time.
Nonetheless, Jake didn’t get it and has been acting distant ever since. His mom wound up texting her, too, apologizing for causing any “tension” while simultaneously urging her to “reconsider.”
“I honestly feel bad because she’s really nice, but I also feel like it’s our anniversary trip!” she vented.
This has left her wondering whether not wanting her boyfriend’s mom to tag along on their weekend getaway is really so crazy or not.
Would you want your partner’s mom to join your anniversary celebration? Is she being unreasonable here, or is the whole situation strange?
