My entitled mom demands that I no longer see my boyfriend until he loses a significant amount of weight.

0:06.0

She even says that he needs to report in how much he's losing in order for us to even be allowed to see each other.

0:12.0

But now I'm honestly so frustrated that I seriously don't know what to do.

0:15.0

Here's what happened.

0:16.0

I'm a 25-year-old female and I've been dating my boyfriend for close to five years now.

0:20.0

And since the first time my mom met him, she simply just didn't like him. The reason was because he's on the plump side, meaning that he's overweight, and he's just a really chill guy. The first time they met, she asked him about his hobbies. And he replied casually about how he likes to eat, which is something he really does and he likes to cook too. I was still

0:38.0

in school then, but all expenses were paid on my own. Since then, she would barge into my room at

0:43.1

random hours, scolding, shouting, and forcing me to break up. But I refused to budge and had always

0:48.8

tried to reason out with her. That is, until she came up with an ultimatum. She said he needs to lose

0:53.8

about 15 kilograms in a year, or we would have to came up with an ultimatum, she said he needs to lose about 15 kilograms

0:54.8

in a year, or we would have to break up. And during this time, we can't see each other. My boyfriend

1:00.3

and I tried to even negotiate the terms, but no means no. She said we would have to abide by the

1:05.5

rules, as this proves his sincerity to me, and then once he reaches the goal, she will finally

1:10.2

shut up. During this period,

1:11.8

I had frequent quarrels started by her, really affecting my mental health. I told her I was not

1:16.6

doing well mentally, and she said that I was faking it. And while I didn't really agree, I had no choice.

1:22.2

We still met just secretly, but my boyfriend was still working to lose the weight. We would also

1:26.8

have to report the weight

1:27.8

loss progress to her, and she would sometimes say that his progress is so slow, and that if she

1:32.7

were him, she would lose it off as quickly as possible. Fast forward to today, and he lost the weight,

1:38.3

but she still criticizes me, calls me horrible names, talks about me behind my back, and about my

1:43.5

relationship. I'm going to family counseling, but it isn't helping that much, because mom thinks that she is in the right, and that she feels I was going down the wrong path, and she couldn't just sit by and watch me suffer. After expressing my dissatisfaction with this, she said she's only saying the truth, so why am I so upset? And with that, I'm kind of low
