I am 27 and my girlfriend is 24. We have been living together for nearly a year and are making plans to get married.
I love her very much. I have a serious problem with her mother. She wants to know where we are every day.
If we go away she will call every few hours. She is completely jealous of me .
My fiancée is aware of the friction and admits that she is often frustrated with her mother. But of course she loves her mom.
What should I do? I am starting to doubt if we should even get married.
Worried, Sebokeng
Although your fiancée's mother will always play an important role in her life, I think this is going too far. Your fiancée and her mother should sort out a plan that suits them both. She must tell her mother gently that she has her own life to lead and cannot move forward if she has to report her every activity to her.
