AITA for telling my mom I’d rather her not tour apartments with me and my gf
My girlfriend (23F) and I (23M) are looking to have an apartment, and we are touring some this weekend.
A little while ago, I promised my mother she’d come with us.
I told her I would love to have her be a part of the process. I invited her to tour the apartments with me and my girlfriend.
This man uninvited his mom when they went to see some apartments.
What I failed to recognize is that my mom is one of those moms.
She’s the kind who doesn’t particularly like their son’s partners.
So, I backtracked almost immediately after inviting her.
I said I’d rather her not tour these apartments with us because we want to be more independent.
He doesn’t know if he did the right thing.
I said that it’s entirely my decision so as not to allude her into thinking it was my girlfriend’s decision.
I haven’t gotten a response yet, but I was just wondering.
AITA?
It’s too bad he invited him mom to join them in the first place!
