[quote=Anonymous]My daughter's BF is smothering  They have only been dating less than a year, but he is jealous, possessive, gets mad when she is with her friends and he wants to be with her every second they are together.  They met locally, shortly before she left for grad school oos.  He still lives nearby and comes to our house all the time even when she is not here - bringing food/gifts, wanting to watch Football with us etc.  Over Thanksgiving he planted himself here for the whole weekend even though I assumed he would be spending the holiday with his family.   We got through it, but it was unsettling for my other kids because they didn't expect him to join us for every single aspect of the weekend.  I was so glad when it was all over - and almost immediately my daughter asked if he could spend Xmas with us (his suggestion)- the whole thing - our Christmas Eve gathering with close friends, Christmas day - etc.  I said no - that he should go stay with his family this year.  I felt a little guilty, but the rest of my family (including myself) would not be cool with him being here.  I'm not getting involved with their relationship - she knows my concerns with his mental health history, drug use, credit card debt, lack of a college degree and work ethic.   She is a lovely sweet person and has a bit of a savior complex - I think she thinks she can turn him around but so far, not much has changed except he he has becoming increasingly clingy and possessive.   I don't think this relationship will last but I want the break up to be her choice and I don't want to drive her away in the meantime - that said the rest of our family needs a break from this guy.  This is so weird - hoping to hear how others have handled similar situations. (for context she is 25 and he is 27).[/quote]
