Length of the relationship: 7 months.
I understand that my boyfriend's very close with his mom. He's an only child, and she's a single parent. His dad lives abroad and they see each other perhaps twice a year.
The way my boyfriend and his mom talk to each other resembles a friendship more than a parent-child relationship. Actually, sometimes they sound like roommates. It was a little weird to get used to in the beginning, but ultimately, it's none of my business.
With that said, is it wrong to disapprove of my boyfriend talking to his mom about our sex life? He's so used to doing this that he doesn't even second-guess why I might be bothered.
His mom doesn't hold back in front of me, either. The last time boyfriend had me over for dinner, his ex came up in a conversation and boyfriend's mom made an explicit comment comparing my penis size to his ex-boyfriend's and proceeded to explain why that matters.
On the one hand, I get that they were making a deprecating joke about the ex. On the other hand, what the hell? I'm sure I'm not the only person who'd find that type of a conversation with SO's parent inappropriate. Not even getting into the fact that she knows our sizes.
I brought this up with my boyfriend the other day. He was surprised that the conversation bothered me, but promised to tone it down. He always does though. I'm afraid he's oblivious to just how weird that stuff is because these incidents keep happening. Before, we had an argument over his mom texting me articles on relationships and sex relevant to our problems.
Am I honestly asking for too much? How can I make my boyfriend draw the line?
Tl;dr: Boyfriend shares every private detail of our relationship with his mom, including when it comes to our sex life. I want him to limit that. He doesn't seem to understand my concerns, though.
