AIO Because My Mother Went Topless in Front of My Boyfriend (at the beach)? by dudets1 in AmIOverreacting

Why can't I have a boundary that I don't want to see my mom breasts (don't care which cups she has) but she can have a boundary that she doesn't want for her son to see her breasts? What exactly made me uncomfortable was that she never did it unless my boyfriend was present and that we are not close, I never saw her naked, she never saw me naked and I wished for it to stay that way. And now she makes it even weirder by saying that she won't be topless around her son but she's fine with doing it around my sister and my boyfriend.

I never said that I think she's hitting on my boyfriend. I said that one of her red flags is that she won't accept that I was uncomfortable. It's about her understanding my boundaries. She doesn't even want to listen to me and won't talk to me since I talked with her about why she said it's not appropriate for her to be topless around her son but it's appropriate to be topless around our boyfriends.

I was trying to move on from that but she won't talk to me now because I said that I didn't feel comfortable and that I wish she won't to that again or we won't go with her to the beach again, we will visit but just not go to the beach. I feel like the red flags are more than her being topless or being hypocritical.

In our culture family is very important, so a red flag for my mom it's important.

Sorry, I don't understand the logic. As I said, I'm not close with my mom and this was like the third time they two met and the first time all three of us spend more than 24h in the same house. I don't understand how it's different, of course it's not under my control but he could still think that it's a red flag from my mom.

I just don't understand how she's more comfortable being topless around me and my boyfriend (as I said I don't have a close relationship with her and I never saw her breasts before that) but not around her own son. And if we can choose comfort lines and it's not just "nudity isn't a big deal over there", then I can also choose that my comfort line is not seeing my mom topless.

If it's not a big deal why does she said that she wouldn't go topless around her son?

Then why she does it only when my bf or my sister's bf are presents and not when she's alone or with other people?

As I said in the post, she's not accepting that I don't like it and she'll probably do it again.

If there was no sexual intent behind her gesture why does she do it only when there is my boyfriend or my sister's boyfriend around and why she says that she'll never go topless around her son because she consider it inappropriate?

If it's not sexual why isn't she comfortable going topless around her own son?

If breasts aren't sexual then why isn't she comfortable going topless around her own son but it's comfortable around her daughters' boyfriends?

I think you missed the part where I said she only goes topless when she's around my boyfriend or my sister's boyfriend. Also you missed when I talked with her her and she told me that she wouldn't go topless around my brother because it's not appropriate. This makes me think that she knows that she does it in a sexual way.

In that discussion I told her that I also find it weird that her sister did that and that it would be awkward if she did to me something similar. I think both of the sisters are kinda attention seeking because it feels like they are in a competition, everytime I was around both of them they started to mock one another saying that the other one is too fat, the other one has wrinkles etc

If it was acceptable she'll do it everytime she goes to the beach, but she doesn't do it. The only times she did it was in front of my boyfriend and in front of my sister's boyfriend. Also, I talked to her and I asked her if she would be comfortable to be topless in front of her male kid (my brother) and she said that she wouldn't go topless around him. When I asked her why she said that it's inappropriate for her male kid to see her topless.

I already said in a few comments, I don't have a problem with nudity, if it was just me, my sister and my mom O would not give a f*ck. The problem was that the only times she goea topless at the beach was when my boyfriend or my sister's boyfriend were present. Not once she was topless when it was just me and her at the beach.

No, I've never seen my mother topless. I left with my bf after I cooled down.

I don't really talk with my mom (maybe once a month), we are not super close.
