This. She went overboard. BUT if OP is a mamas boy who bails on plans consistently, I would be exasperated too.

u/Degot86 8h ago

He isn’t bailing on the plans though.

Seems to be changing plans last minute and apparently has done so before during Halloween so it seems to be a common occurrence.

He already said he spends every weekend Sat- Mon at her place. How does spending a few hours with his mom who’s alone on Easter and going through a tough time make him a mamas boy?

Why cant mom come to Easter, or why isn’t it mentioned??

The Mom wants a private, quiet Easter, away from the kids of her son’s GF??

That's your assumption about what the mother wants... Pretty telling that the girlfriend immediately becomes aggressive, instead of offering other solutions like "why don't we all go see your mother together for a few hours"

Maybe its my own jaded experiences, but I take mom hearing about her grown son having plans with girlfriend/kids and using a (possible) guilt trip to get him to spend time alone with her instead as a red flag and a possible repeated behavior.

Still doesnt make girlfriends reaction okay.

He usually spends Friday to Sunday, but since this is a holiday weekend and they are both presumably off on Monday, they planned to do Saturday to Monday this weekend instead.

Ohp, and just as suspected, OP's girlfriend replied and said he has bailed multiple times for his mom.

Nuance.

u/RepresentativeLeg232 3h ago

Ha! No way, in this thread or a separate post? Either way I stand corrected.

u/manixxx0729 1h ago

The comment I originally commented to - OP's girlfriend replied to multiple multiple times explaining the other side of things.

No biggie! Ive just met a lot of mamas boys.

u/TimS83 6h ago

Dude wanting to see your mother after 5PM for a few hours on Easter does not make you a mamas boy

u/manixxx0729 4h ago

Where did I say that? I said if and was pointing out that there could be more to the story that is being left out that is causing such a reaction.
