Relationships are complicated to begin with. They become worse when others meddle in!

This girl shares how her BF’s mother blamed her for forcing her son into moving in with her.

Check out the full story!

AITA for refusing to apologize to my Bfs mom for an argument that I β€œcaused”?

For some context, my boyfriend (M 21) and I (F 21) recently moved in together after being in a LDR for 3 years in February of this year (Bf was in NY and moved to me to Tx).

This is where the situation gets tricky…

He’s in his last semester of college and is doing online classes so he can still graduate with his hometowns college. It was a mutual decision, and we are very happy.

My bfs mom (57 F) is a super sweet woman. We haven’t always gotten along, but that never hindered our relationship.

Now to the point, before he left I get a call from his mom wanting to β€œgive her opinion” on our decision of moving.

UH OH…

During this call she completely came after me and my character using phases like β€œyou’re being very selfish”, β€œif you really loved my son you’d take care of the apartment by yourself until august when he graduated”, β€œyou’re not the person I made you out to be, I thought you were better than this”, and so many other things.

She didn’t give me the room to talk and explain that we had been talking about this for almost a year now, and that it was a decision both my bf and I put a lot of thought towards.

All I could do is sit there and take every nasty word he spat out at me. It’s been about 5 months since that conversation, and we haven’t said a word to each other.

That’s INSANE!

Some context my bf didn’t tell his mom he was moving out until a month out of him coming due to personal issues that had come up and she wasn’t in the country which isn’t an excuse considering we’ve been talking about it for a year and I nagged him for months to tell her so we wouldn’t end up in this situation.

She claims I should’ve told her since I’m β€œforcing” her son into this.

Anyways, my boyfriend (who wasn’t present during this conversation) says that we both messed up in that conversation and I should β€œtake the high road” and apologize so that β€œthings can get back to how they were before”, but I don’t feel like I did anything wrong I didn’t snap back I didn’t say anything to disrespect her, heck I wasn’t even able to get a whole sentence in without being told to be quiet she’s speaking.

She was not expecting that from him…

I told him I’m absolutely not apologizing.

He told me that we’re both stubborn and if I don’t do it then nothing will ever get better.

We have my bf sister’s wedding to go to in June, and I don’t want drama taking away from her big day because I’m not willing to apologizing.

But I also don’t want her to think it’s okay to talk to me the way she wants to and that the way she treated me was okay. So Reddit AITA?

OUCH! That sounds like a stingy situation…

Why would the BF not side with her in the first place?

Let’s find out what folks on Reddit think about this one.
