this first one my boyfriend won't let me see my mom.

Oh, so.

Yeah, she's 26 female and he's 30 male.

Okay.

Long story short, boyfriend and I have been together over a year, currently going through some

financial strain because his contract ended, so I'm supporting the both of us while he looks

for a job.

I haven't seen my mom in years because of COVID and lack of money.

My family lives across the world. It's hard to see them because flights are so expensive. My mom offered to buy me a flight to see her and she would cover all expenses. That's pretty cool. Sick. Upon telling my boyfriend this, he got upset and told me how awful it is. it is I won't be spending the holidays with him and how it's going to take forever to meet my mom and ask permission to marry me. To which I replied, well, we're both broke and my mom is using her credit card to buy me a ticket to see her after so many years. Yeah. My prior partners had never had an issue with me going back to see my family as they know I'd get very homesick

Which my current boyfriend knows I've been struggling with these days and I could use some time off from my country

I guess I'm looking for advice on how to navigate

This every time I bring it up he gets very upset and it just makes me want to not even go even though I want to see her as it's been years

I feel like he's not hearing me out or seeing how important this trip would be to me to me.

As I only get one mom in life and she's getting older, so her traveling to see me won't be as easy.

I'm afraid this tension, I'm afraid that this tension, especially once she buys me a ticket, would lead to a breakup or something.

Break up.
