Woman Finally Dumps ‘Mama’s Boy’ Boyfriend: ‘Called His Mom Before Our First Kiss’

A 21-year-old woman on Reddit explained why she decided to dump her 22-year-old "mama's boy" boyfriend. 

"My ex and I met four years ago. We got along well and were each other’s first loves, he was loyal and kind, never judging and to many seemed like a perfect boyfriend. It was only after a few months that I realized his one issue: he was a mama's boy. Everything he did, he would call his mom for permission," she began.

"This went on even after he reached his 20s. For example, he would literally have to call his mom to ask what he to eat, whether he was allowed to watch this movie, even said 'Hold on, let me ask my mom,' when we were about to share our first kiss. I got pissed, so I blew him off and the romantic moment was ruined," the woman continued.

She confronted her boyfriend about his behavior "multiple times," but he refused to change. The final straw came, however, when she went to meet his mom in person for the first time, which turned into a disaster due to cultural differences.

"A few days ago, he said he was ready for me to meet his mom. I went to his house, and took a tad bit more [food] than normal for dinner, because I didn't know that his family has a different culture ... His mother instantly chided me, I looked to my ex to expect him to stand up for me, but he didn’t, instead he joined his mom in scolding me," she recalled.

"I endured the entire night of his mom’s death glares, and both of them making snarky remarks about me. After we left, I broke out into an argument with him, but of course he thought he wasn’t in the wrong. That was the final straw for me, because it showed me how I was going to be treated in his family. I dumped him right there and then," the woman concluded.

Users in the comments section sided with the woman.

"It's understandable to be frustrated with his lack of independence and respect for you, especially when he didn't stand up for you in a difficult situation," one user wrote.

"You communicated your feelings multiple times, and his behavior, along with his lack of support for you, showed a lack of respect for your boundaries and needs in the relationship," another weighed in.

"Nope. Dude needs to cut the cord already," someone else commented.
