LittleDragon456 Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Is that wrong? I think it's great he loves his mom, that's wonderful. But I couldn't help feel a bit jealous when he told me this last night. We have a good relationship, and he tells me he loves me all the time, and I tell him I love him to, which I really do. But this is what he said to me last night: "I love you <3 more than anything other than my mom I love my mom more than you sorry." I just pretended to take it well and I said "Haha, okay babe" But I am actually jealous of this. Am I wrong for feeling this way? By the way, he is 21, and I am 17. We have been together for a while.
Tara247 Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Girl...you've got a problem. At least he was honest.
Author LittleDragon456 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Posted December 8, 2012 We've been together for a little over a year.
charlietheginger Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Women come and go moms are forever 6
amaysngrace Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 That is a long time. At least he loves his mom. That's a good sign on how he'll treat you. I wouldn't worry about it. She probably tells him not to love you more than he loves her as a joke. 2
xpaperxcutx Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 I wouldn't be jealous because it is a fact, I honestly will always choose my family over my boyfriend. Look at it this way, the both of you are still young, you will have your hurdles and at this stage, young love does not necessarily mean you'll be together forever. Until you become his wife, accept that he's a good little momma's boy. 1
dasein Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Well he was kind of a klutz to volunteer that out of the blue, wouldn't worry about it. We only have one mom, and as others say, it's a much better indicator for your relationship that he loves her than if he didn't. If he goes into Vic Secret to buy his mom's Christmas present, -then- worry.
AMusing Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 It was totally goofy for him to point out he loves his mom more, but just as goofy for you to be jealous of that (or to expect anything different). Romantic love for you and familial love for his mom are different species; you aren't competing against his mom for some finite amount of love. Just take his dorky message as the sweet silliness it was meant to be. 1
ScreamingTrees Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Yes.. It's not the same sort of love, and he doesn't know you THAT long.. A year is a fairly long time, but you're both still so young, you're still maturing as individuals. You shouldn't take offense to that, it's nothing personal, his mother brought him into this world.. She took care of him and gave him unconditional love. Of COURSE she'd be the most important thing in the world to him. Aren't your parents as loved by you as your boyfriend loves his? I'm willing to bet that they are. You don't love him more than them.. If you do, it didn't take much, relatively speaking. 1
somedude81 Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 What, do you love him more than your father? 1

He should love his mom more. If you give him kids and become a loving faithful wife then there would be an issue.
mesmerized Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Would you want your future son to love a girl he has only been with for a year more than you?
florence of suburbia Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 He's just too young to realize he shouldn't have said it out loud.
c57dood Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 As they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Cook some yummy meals for him, and see if he changes his tune!
CptObvious Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 your boyfriend is being honest, like an idiot. He'll learn from this mistake though.
florence of suburbia Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 your boyfriend is being honest, like an idiot. He'll learn from this mistake though. Being honest isn't the same as verbal diarhea -- just because it's inside you doesn't mean it should all come out.
