How much should my fiancee’s mom be involved?

0

I have been with my fiancee’ for a year. We are long distance right now but closing it it this summer. I love his family very much and i appreciate their thoughts and concerns. All they want is for him to be happy and same with my own family, they just want me to be happy as well. But it just seems like whenever my fiancee and i get into a disagreement either in person or while apart, his mom always knows about it. Like he either asks her for advice on what to do or she happens to be around when we are talking. I love her and respect her but sometimes she does get mad at him when he does not text her or call or say goodnight. I encourage him to text her and say goodnight when i am there in person, only time that becomes an issue, so i’m not the type to push him away from the family at all. I’m not perfect either, we are human, we all have our breakdowns and emotional times and i have several times with him apart and together but it just bugs me how his mom is there most of the time when things happen. I don’t want her to come between us and i know i’m in a relationship with him not his mom or his family, but with HIM. Is it wrong of me to feel like she needs to give him some sort of space? Or is her being involved in some of our issues okay? Adviceee.

Well, in this situation the parent of your soon to be husband we'll feel the need to be involved more than necessarily but that's normal. Maybe the goodnight text is a sign that she doesn't want him to forget about her , she may feel that by him marrying you she is loosing him. She also needs to understand that he is a grown man. You could explain these feelings to her , or if you think that's a bad idea talk to it to your soon to be.
