Her Mom Called Her Boyfriend And Said He Should Leave Her Since He’s Not Good Enough
Some moms really make it a hobby to meddle in the relationships of their kids. This poor 27-year-old woman’s mom is doing everything in her power to destroy her current relationship, but first, let’s rewind to her ex, whom she was with for five years.
Her ex was her high school sweetheart, and her conservative Asian parents didn’t love him at first. But after her ex entered the military, that won her mom and dad over.
“However, he cheated on me with a wealthier colleague and broke up without [an] explanation,” she explained.
“A year later, he got engaged to her. The breakup devastated me. My parents blamed me, and our social circle split between supporting him and me.”
“Some even mocked me at gatherings. My dating attempts failed, and my parents became desperate for me to marry, setting up dates that didn’t work.”
A bit more than a year ago, she began seeing one of her former coworkers, who happens to be four years younger than she is.
Her new boyfriend is a breath of fresh air, and they currently live together. Two months ago, she ended up losing her job, and ever since, her boyfriend has jumped in to support her in an emotional and financial sense.
When it came time for her boyfriend to meet her family, they were excited for her to no longer be single, but they weren’t thrilled about him as a person.
One of her friends from her past, named Aaron, moved to her city not that long ago and caught the eye of her parents.

“He’s from an upper-middle-class background, a military officer with achievements that make him a “dream match” for [my] parents,” she said.
Aaron served with her ex, though they weren’t close or anything like that. Since Aaron didn’t know anyone in her city, he began hanging out with her and her boyfriend.
After her mom got to meet Aaron, she was immediately a fan. Then Aaron let it slip that he had feelings for her, and her mom insisted he should do something about his crush.
Not only that, her mom lied to Aaron and said she wasn’t in a relationship. So, her mom planted that seed, then turned around and tried to convince her to dump her boyfriend for Aaron.
Her mom said dating Aaron would be the “perfect revenge” for her to get on her ex. Her mom also said that her boyfriend was poor and younger than her, so Aaron would be so much better.
Her mom failed to make her think Aaron was the man for her, which resulted in her mom actually calling her boyfriend to tear him down!
Manipulative as can be, her mom tried to tell her boyfriend he wasn’t the right man for her since she could do way better. Her mom then said if he loved her, he should allow her to find someone else.
She and her boyfriend ignored her mom, knowing her mom was coming from a place of wanting the absolute best for her, which is very generous on her boyfriend’s part to overlook such cruel behavior.
Finally, Aaron admitted he had feelings for her, but she shut him down. Not deterred by this, her mom and dad keep trying to hook her up with Aaron.
“They’ve sent him gifts and invited him (but not my partner) to our family Christmas gathering. I refused to attend without my partner, leading to a heated argument,” she added.
“My partner hides his feelings but is visibly hurt by their rejection. My parents make sure to call me when he is around to try to manipulate me. My SO doesn’t say anything, but the heartbreak is written all over his face. I can’t even cut off my parents.”
“I’m torn—my parents rely on me as they’re elderly and unwell, but their treatment of my partner is hurtful. My partner doesn’t want me to cut off my parents because of him, and is very supportive. But the situation is growing increasingly toxic, and I don’t know how to balance these relationships.”
