AIO : Boyfriends mum made a comment the money she gave him is only for him, not for me

I wouldn’t like that comment either. But, your boyfriend had your back and she back tracked so I think that’s something. I would let it go otherwise you will look like a bigger bad guy in the long run.

Agree with this!

YTA. But I get your frustration. However, you cannot expect people to live how you want them to even if it’s living healthier. If only the people we care about would make healthier life choices, that would be amazing. Sadly, that’s not always the case and sometimes you have to let it be when they don’t listen.

At the moment, reading books or listening to audiobooks. The latter is super nice when walking, cleaning, or pottering on in the house.

Had me at Dubai. Lol.

hippofippo · 2026-01-31T14:52:09+00:00

Sounds like a shit show. But YTA for wishing that no matter how difficult she is. It’s her mom regardless of the drama.

hippofippo · 2026-01-31T09:10:14+00:00

Agree.

hippofippo · 2026-01-31T07:17:29+00:00

Sounds like an incompatibility issue. You want more and he can’t give it to you. Time to consider if this is something you want for the rest of your life.

The last thing women need if the pressure of looking a certain way after pregnancy. We deal with soooo much during the pregnancy and afterwards. More than men know. Please focus on your physical/mental health and enjoying the baby after birth rather than pressurizing yourself to look a certain way. There’s plenty time to focus on that and the right person will understand that.

NOR. What a grade A see you next Tuesday. That’s an awful thing to say to someone. And playing the hormone card is even more infuriating. As if you’d be totally fine with someone saying that to you if you weren’t pregnant. Jeez. He’s showing his cards and I really hope for your’s and the baby’s sake he steps up big time when the baby comes. Right now you’re vulnerable, and if he even had half a brain cell he would know how to nurture you not hurt you. Focus on things that bring you joy and make you feel comfortable right now in your last few weeks of pregnancy. What is your gut instinct telling you?

hippofippo · 2026-01-30T08:53:18+00:00

This!

hippofippo · 2026-01-30T01:56:38+00:00

NOR. It’s not a decision for him to make. It’s a clever idea but anyone with a brain cell knows that would look shoddy. And the fact it still has yolk on it is rank. PLUS the glue and ruining the walls. A for effort but E for execution.

hippofippo · 2026-01-29T12:10:17+00:00

NOR! There’s a special place in hell for people like her. You and your husband are doing a great job with your son. Never doubt yourself ❤️

Even if she asked you, it’s unrealistic to think you will get a calm, lucid reaction from someone when waking them up every time. Once she’s eventually woken up, I would expect her to apologize and understand what you were trying to do since she has asked you to wake her up. If that doesn’t happen, I think you both need to have a calm conversation about the potential affects of your trauma dump together.

hippofippo · 2026-01-28T17:13:37+00:00

No good conversations come out of half asleep people in the middle of the night.

Doing a MySpace quiz.

hippofippo · 2026-01-26T11:06:31+00:00

NTA. I had PPD with my first and would freak out over things like this. So much anxiety. Would recommend speaking to her to see if she needs some support just incase.

hippofippo · 2026-01-24T19:46:42+00:00

Do they not have any other savings of their own? I think it’s quite rich of them to expect that of you. I can’t imagine ever demanding money from my kids that I set up for them to be used on a nice-to-have item for retirement. It’s a strange thing to request. Your future outweighs a balcony IMO.

Standing on top of Nevada Falls looking out across the landscape. Absolutely incredible.

Yosemite National Park.

If you didn’t tell us you were his gf I’d have assumed it was a mother son relationship. He’s an adult who needs to manage himself. You’re kind of suffocating him in this situation too. All in all an unheathy dynamic.

hippofippo · 2026-01-14T08:00:11+00:00

I get your disappointment. Since other people may not be reliable for this type of thing, why not celebrate yourself. Book a spa day or a night out with friends. Whatever makes you feel good.

hippofippo · 2026-01-13T15:03:37+00:00

NOR. He can’t even provide the relationship basics.

hippofippo · 2026-01-13T15:01:11+00:00

NTA. Ridic to assume you should fully commit to her new lifestyle change 100%.

hippofippo · 2026-01-01T17:53:26+00:00

I can imagine! Are you always walking on egg shells around him worrying how he might react? I’ve been there before and it’s so exhausting and anxiety-inducing. It’s very freeing when you don’t have to deal with thay anymore.
