His Stupid Mom is Ruining Things Again

Hi Phyllis, I’m the girl who contacted you about 2 months ago regarding my first break up, mostly due to his mom, and I took your suggestion to wait a month before sending a friendly email. It worked. Well, at first. His birthday was a couple weeks ago and i sent him a friendly “happy birthday” email, and he seemed really happy to hear from me. We started talking again, and we clicked instantly and were getting along so well, it almost seemed like we never broke up. He even asked if I wanted to hang out, so we set up a day, but of course his stupid mom has to ruin it again. She gets all freaked out because he had told her were talking again (which he didn’t really want to tell her) and she made it almost impossible for me to see him. And after that now he won’t answer my texts or calls, I sent him an email asking if we were still friends and he said, “No it’s fine, no hard feelings”. But he won’t talk to me besides that, and it seems like he always rejects my calls & texts whenever his mom gets involved. It really hurts because I know he still likes me, but his stupid mom is really ruining it. I wish I could just get over it because I know she isn’t gonna change, and nothing I do is ever gonna please her, but it just bugs me that we really were starting to reunite and she’s caused me a lot of unnecessary trouble.. I just wish there was some kind of way I could just see him again, but I don’t know what to do.  I guess I just needed someone to vent to, thanks for listening.

I guess the questions in my mind are these:  1) Is there some special reason his mom dislikes you so much, or is she trying to keep him away from all girls?  2)  He actually tells you the reason he can’t hang out with you is his mom?  3)  Why would you want to hang out with a guy who is so dominated by his mother that he can’t even email a girl?  Why do I get an “eeeuuuu” reaction to this guy?
