Think of it this way. Your BF was his mother's world from the time of her divorce until....well, now. No one ever cut the apron strings, unfortunately. I think you should question just how much of an influence she had on your bf's break up with his ex. He's going to tell you one story and may hide how much influence his mommy has on him. (Grown men tend to not admit to being momma's boys.)

If things don't change, could you deal with this woman who loves you one day and then gets you into legal trouble the next? (Whatever the equivalent of calling CPS would be...I'm assuming you don't have kids of your own, sorry if I'm wrong.)

I'd be tempted to contact the ex's mom....however, I don't think you need more info from her. I think you can see the mounting evidence for yourself.

I know ultimatums aren't good, but your BF needs to cut the apron strings. He needs to stand up for you and tell his mother that bad behavior toward you will not be tolerated! Yes, his mom is family, but after age 18 priorities shift. No longer do we have the same loyalties to our parents. Our partner and children need to come first in the grand scheme of things, over our parents.

Did the mom destroy his last relationship? She definitely didn't help things! You could be a perfect angel and do nothing wrong but you'll always be the enemy. I know I couldn't live like that.

Shyte. If someone causes episodes for me.....they're *gone*.

That's another thing. I have to make him stick up for me! Last time he stuck up for me is when she decided she hated me and caused a big scene. I asked him what her problem was and he says "that's what I get for standing up to her!" Like it was my fault. He knows damn well how I feel about his lack of "sticking up for me". We've had many issues there. And yep I've called him a mamas boy. I've said to him during fights "If this is my future in marrying you then forget about it". Sad thing is I'm starting to sway towards those feelings.
