She dictates the day and time we come over to work on upkeep.
My fiance and I have been together for 14 years. A few months ago, his mother told us she had inherited a home that had belonged to her parents, and she wanted to gift it to us. I was skeptical because any gift from her comes with tons of strings attached.
Well, ever since he has been helping with the upkeep, my fiance’s mom insists it be done on our day off. She says it’s because her husband is also off. Am I wrong to be upset that my fiance chooses to do the upkeep on “our” day off vs. his day off? This has been consistent for the last three or four weeks.
I’m 49 and recently divorced, and I have had to stay with my mother for months during the divorce. During this time, she has made me a budget, opens my mail and treats me like I am 5 years old. She has done this all my life. I have severe anxiety, and she is part of it. For some reason, I can’t tell her to back off. Do you have any suggestions?Yes, I sure do. If you are still living with your mother, MOVE as soon as possible or have your mail delivered to a post office box.
