[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They broke up due to living on opposite coasts. According to him it was pretty mutual. Sad but not messy. They have not communicated since Christmas 2023. He randomly got a photo text from her over the weekend with no caption, just her hand showing off her engagement ring. What motivates such a text from a 27 year old woman and what reaction is she looking for?[/quote]

You seem to know an offer lot about your son’s love life. Maybe she broke up with him bc your son shares every detail of his life with mommy. Is he nearly 30 or 5?[/quote]

Normal families know about each other's lives. Your dysfunctional family experience is not universal.[/quote]

Most grown sons would share this with their buddies and aren’t as open about their love life with their mother. Mothers/daughters type of conversation or father/son but mother/som ehh it’s giving mommy boy vibes. Like when he is in a relationship/marriage he will tell his mom about his relationship issues causing more strain in his relationship. Ask me how I know.[/quote]

Who died and make you spokesperson for "most grown sons". My husband and his mom mostly just talk about other people because they have little else in common. They talk about other family members, old neighbors, people from their old Church, etc because my MILs eyes would glaze over if he started talking about work, sports, or a car he likes. [/quote]

Guess I’m just a little biased bc my ex husband hence one of the reasons he is an ex would vent to his mom about our relationship issues and go to her about every little thing. I felt like I was married to a man child rather than a man who could stand on his own two feet. I felt like there were 3 ppl in our marriage me, him, and his mom. He called her everyday without fail. She wasn’t older, sickly, or lonely. She had a very active social life and other children as well. So it wasn’t like he was her only source of communication even when we traveled and I insisted we go phone free and focus on each other nope he had to call her everyday. It got to be beyond weird bc he treated her more like a girlfriend he had to check in with than a mother. There is close mother son relationship and then there is enmeshed and overbearing where you can’t go a day without talking even at the expense of your marriage. Now we are divorced and his mother has him all to herself and I’m with a lovely man who loves his mother and is close to her put I don’t feel like she is the other woman. He does the normal once a week check in unless something major happens.[/quote]
