Adult here. Am I irrational about my bf sharing all my fav things with his mom?
So, I was/am an only child and had a single mother. We were/are VERY tight. My bf of 10 years is the youngest of three and bith parents were married for 50+ years.
My bf (50) has a habit of sharing and getting my favorite things for his mom. It's really a bit weird. He feels a bit beholden to her financially or guilty when he doesn't share every detail of his life with her, but the issue with my favorite things is really starting to irk me. When I come across a new cheese or dish at a restaurant or dessert I order at home, or milk or chip or salsa or anything that I have a fondness of, he always has to ask me the brand and where I got it, etc., on and on. Am I just being goofy? It just really feels like I can't just have something special to myself.
It just feels like a bit much. Thanks.
Edit: His two slightly older siblings moved away right after college and come back for short visits once or twice a year. Their relationships aren't the best, and the sister and brother don't speak other than when they have to. They each have two kids in college and we have none.
