AITA for arguing with my mom for defending my boyfriend over a comment she made.
This is a throw away since I have some people who follow my actual account.
So, I (18 yo W) had an argument with my mother yesterday (40 yo W) about my boyfriend (19 yo M) who she had made a rude comment about.
To give some context, I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year now. He isn’t the best with opening up and is really bad with social interactions. My mom has always hated on him for this reason and says that’s why she doesn’t like him. This isn’t the issue though. The issue is she keeps making comments on my boyfriend’s weight. He is on the slightly bigger side but I still find him very attractive and never really thought of it like that.
So, I just got off work and it was a long day. I was only working with one other person and it was a very busy day. When I had got home, I immediately sat down and my parents noticed I was already not okay. My mom always pushes me to talk about my feelings, which I don’t because i never feel heard by both of them. Anyways, I was on my phone when my mom grabbed my attention by pointing at a picture of my boyfriend that was taken 1 year ago and comparing it to one that was taken about a month ago. There was other pictures of him on the table because I was making him a gift where I had a book of pictures and stuff of us. In the first picture, he was like 18 and in the most recent, he was 19. She had said that he’s gotten so much bigger and that the “freshman 15” got to him in college. I obviously grew annoyed cause once again, she was poking fun at him. I stopped talking and she made a comment on how I’m always like this then left it alone.
As time passed, we were supposed to go see a movie and I just wasn’t in the mood for it. She already got the tickets but I told her I wasn’t going. She got pissed and left with my dad and brother. She messaged me right after telling me I am now allowed to see my boyfriend anymore this week and that she’s not letting me go on my summer trip with him and his family. I lost it. She does this every time we argue. She stops me from seeing him and basically wants the push me away more and more. I have texts I can share showing what she says but I don’t know how much that can add to what I’ve already said. This all happened last night and I had left 15$ on her nightstand for the ticket. Now it’s middle of the next day and she has still not talked to me.
So AITA for arguing with my mom over a comment she made about my boyfriend?
