Will He Ever Grow Up?
Dear Fly Guy,
I’m stuck in a love triangle and I want out. The creepy thing is that the other woman is my boyfriend’s mother. I’m 34 years old, and have never dated a man who was this close to his mother before. They talk at least 10 to 15 times a day, and when they aren’t on the phone, they’re texting each other. His entire life revolves around her. There have even been times when we were making love, and he would stop just because she was calling. When I’ve complained to him about this unusual behavior, he simply tells me that I’m overreacting. At this point I’m fed up, but I don’t want to leave because I really do love him. What should I do?

Dear M. Shannon,
It sounds to me like your boyfriend has a lot of growing up to do. And I hate to be the one to break this to you, but it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen anytime soon. Unfortunately, there’s probably a better chance of Bobby Brown and Boy George recording an album together than there is of him actually maturing. Even if he did slow down on the “mommy talk,” he would probably just transfer those tendencies to you. So you have to ask yourself the following question, “Do I want a boyfriend, or a son?” I think we both know the answer to that question. Leave him.

One thing comes to mind immediately. He has an outlet for daily concerns, problems, etc. He has many of his bases covered so to speak from a interpersonal standpoint. So to communicate these things with you would be repetition. How is your communication? And for someone who dismisses when you bring up a problem with a “You’re overreacting” as the solution shows his problem-solving skills need work. Men should try to keep ALL the men in their lives happy, not just mom.
