You don't think he can stay faithful to you for 14 weeks? That's probably something you should talk about. Is it that he's afraid of possibly hurting you? Or maybe he's embarrassed to masturbate together? It sounds like it's all going to be new and he's probably just feeling overwhelmed right now, as I'm sure you are as well!

If you are uncomfortable about something, and he actually cares, it won't be anything you're "forcing." He will want to do it out of respect for the relationship. Just because she's his mom doesn't mean she's incapable of being tactless and rude. Especially if he's 32, unless he's an obscene mama's boy.

How often are you together physically? Your post to call me during the day, implying every day. Why do you need a call every day, why can’t you call him. Are you one of the ones that texts your BF like 35 times a day?

Not a red flag on him, but maybe you are the red flag with your constant need for attention.

Yeah right. You can't tolerate lies like that. I think you can see why she did that, actually.

You should leave her, unless you are fine with her cheating on you. Alternatively, if she gets really invested in staying with you tell her to block him on everything, no matter what impact it has on her job. After giving it a thought it's probably not enough, they still work together.

Better would be her quitting her job as well. Logic is, we know why she has done her deeds. I am of the opinion people can occasionally make wrong decisions and regret them. However, to ensure they do not repeat, such decision must have direct negative consequences.

Might be totally unrelated, but my first love was the "high school sl*t". She was well-known to have slept around, had sex with a dude I hung out with, she even got drunk and slept with his older friend on my birthday after she told me she'd be there (she didn't show up). She also cheated on me and slept with multiple other dudes while we were together, and I happen to be decently "well-endowed" and know how to use it (according to my past GF's and current GF). She even slept with my high school best friend on one drunken night which made my friendship with him awkward and we had an unfortunate falling out (we tried to recuperate it, but it was never the same after that dramatic, tear-filled night he broke the news to me). Despite the cheating that virtually everyone knew about, including me, I always took her back. Always. She was beautiful, got along with my parents, and I was in love with her. We did share a pretty deep connection and got along well, personality-wise, despite her being so promiscuous. We ended up breaking up in college. She ended up getting married less than a year later to a military dude -- when she always told me she didn't want to be with a man who was like her alcoholic and abusive military vet dad.

Basically, the moral of this story is that -- you're still young AF and have a lot of life lessons ahead of you. Do what feels right to you, in the moment, don't be afraid to make mistakes / heart-break, learn from things, and have no regrets. Everything happens for a reason.

If her past relationships bother you, then let it affect you in whatever way it does. Insecurity, whatever. You'll learn from these experiences eventually, at least, that's my hope. Good luck.

i dont want to soud defensive because there is some truth to your comment, but he did tell me directly about having commitment issues (not just with our relationship). I also don’t push him too hard, i know how I am, I’m mostly just overthinking and I wanted to share my pov

You've already discussed this with BF, but nothing's changed? Did you think he has some kind of magic power over his mother?

If you want to continue dating him, develop a thicker skin and don't assume every conversation they have is about you. This kind of friction is present in most cross-cultural relationships.

Be congenial and affectionate toward her, and greet her first even if she doesn't greet you.

Or, breaking up is always an option.
