@mind_yourboundaries: PART 1/3: A wealthy family takes a big luxury trip every year. Business class, luxury hotels, all of it. This year, Mom wonders if she should bring her 27 year old son's girlfriend of three years. Doing that adds about $25,000. Here's what I keep noticing, and I want you holding these before you vote: ✅ The son never asked to bring her, and the girlfriend has no idea this conversation is even happening. Mom brought the whole thing up on her own. ✅ Money's not the problem. She says so herself, they can easily afford it. So this was never really about the price. ✅ And she knows he's spoiled. She says that too. She raised him to love the finer things, so of course he does. Then comes the leap that got me… When the son retracts his yes and doesn’t want to downgrade his trip, the Mom jumps to, “maybe he’s not that into her?” Isn’t that a big jump? Okay, tell me in the comments. Who leaves the bad taste in your mouth here. Mom, Dad, the son, or nobody? Part 2 is where I tell you where my head went. PSA, this story was shared on a public forum and is meant for education and reflection. It's not here to replace advice or treatment from a licensed professional. PS, I hope this goes without saying, but just in case. This mom absolutely does not need to spend an extra $25k on her son's girlfriend. That's 1000% her call to make. That's not why I'm sharing this. There's something she said in a comment that caught my eye. We'll talk about it in Part 3. #storytime #relationshipadvice #boundaries #inlaws #relationshiptalk
