Is it normal that i'm jealous of my boyfriends mother?

I love my boyfriend, we've been together for a while and we have a very good relationship. People often complement us on our bond that we have found together.

Anyway, I think I'm jealous of his Mother. He is a textbook "Mommas-Boy" which I don't have an issue with, but I do have an issue with my jealously toward her. I understand that she created him and obviously that they have a really good bond together, but it's really getting on my nerves how much she is interrupting our relationship.

As an example, last night we we're watching a movie that I was really excited to show him. It 's one of my favorites and I thought that he would love it too. His Mom called half way through the movie and HE ANSWERED and had a full, 10 minute conversation IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOVIE. Worst part is, this happens in almost everything we do. This includes in the middle of shopping, in the middle of foreplay (I wish I was joking), and even in the middle of being in line for a ride when we we're on vacation. I feel there needs to be a line where he ignores the call and calls back later.

I feel like I am in a constant competition for his affection! I have no idea if it's normal or if I'm just being selfish!

    Why cant he text back to her "call you in a bit"...even if it was just a friend talking on the phone during a movie is rude.

    Have you talked to him about it ???

        Lol its not too important unless a family member is ill or she herself is ill and he needs updates.
        I love my mom to death but I talk to her like once a week or so. i have even went a month without calling before XD.

        He needs to call back later. ..and not be rude to the people he is around.

    Do the conversations sound important? Or does he go into another room or out of your hearing? If the latter maybe it's not his mum?

    If you've really tried to talk to him calmly about this and he's ignoring your feelings, why don't you get a friend to start calling you and interrupting your time with him?

    If that doesn't work you could get sneaky & as a last resort hide his phone or get hold of it when he's not looking and block his mum's number If he has a phone with this facility

    It does sound like plain bad manners to me but there could be more to it.

    I don't have a clear cut solution for you because my parents are still having a similar struggle. I don't think you should be ticked off by it when you're just waiting in a line but you need to sit this guy down and explain how you feel when its interfering with personal things. Are you sure he is talking to just his mom...?

      Yep! I ask "who was that?" and it's /always/ his Mum.

        I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but what if he's lying to you...
