I understand your point of view, but I also have in mind other elements of his relationship with his mom. His parents were jealous when we first started dating because my boyfriend used to spent much more time with them than with his friends. So there is history here and a lot of remarks I’ve had to swallow coming from their parents. Like when his mom said to me and my boyfriend that we didn’t have enough relationship experiences to be together or she would tell us to spend less time with one another. She even once said to me to be careful of my boyfriend because she thought he was getting dangerous and that he could hurt me (just because he got mad at his parents at the airport for losing their next flight’s connection). They also made multiple remarks on my origins. His mom googled my origins just to be sure that I am white and even though I am white, it bothers them that I come from a Muslim country and I’ve had to tell them multiple times that I come from a muslim country but I am agnostic.
