My Boyfriend’s Mom Thought I Was a Nobody and I Couldn’t Put Up with It

A 19-year-old girl shared her tumultuous experience on Reddit, detailing the challenges she faced after moving in with her 18-year-old boyfriend and his grandmother. The couple, facing financial constraints, sought refuge in the grandmother’s spare room, encountering issues with cleanliness and missing necessities. The main contention arose from the loud morning visits of the boyfriend’s 34-year-old mother, Janice, with her daughters.

Despite the girlfriend’s request for reduced noise and avoiding the doorbell early in the morning, the disturbances persisted. When confronting Janice, the situation escalated unexpectedly, resulting in the girlfriend being kicked out of the house. After a brief stay with her father, she returned, but tensions persisted.

The girlfriend, feeling mistreated, reclaimed the items she purchased for the home, leading to further conflict with the grandmother. Turning to Reddit for advice, she questioned whether she was wrong for taking her belongings back or if the grandmother was at fault for holding onto past grievances.

Reddit commenters expressed empathy for the girlfriend, suggesting she might be too young for such family dynamics. Some recommended reassessing the relationship, while others advised saving and finding a place of her own. The consensus suggested that the girlfriend’s challenges might indicate deeper issues in the relationship.
