He wanted me to shut my mom out

Good day Mylotters! So I met this guy some time ago and I must admit he was really nice. We talked over the phone a few times and also met up on a few occasions just to talk in person over lunch or just a simply talk in a park. We were going well and decided that we wanted to take it to another level and the full agreement was there. However, things took another turn when one Saturday morning he called me and asked if I could go to lunch with him. I had to decline because I had to accompany my mom to her doctor's visit for that day. He got so upset over the phone and at one point is exact words were "so isn't she old enough to go by herself? Are you really putting your mom over me?" I was so shocked because I was thinking how could this guy want me in a relationship but yet not want my mom to be a part of my life. He apparently hung up the phone on me and and sent a message stating as soon as I value him more than my mom, I can call him again. Best believe he didn't get that call at all! I can't believe he was rude enough to even say that. Since lately he has been calling my phone but oh please...he can go to hell for all I care! That stupid man and his selfish ego!

Better to find out his true character early on than too late. He certainly is not what I consider a kind, thoughtful, caring, gentleman. He showed his true colors. I'd do the same as you. Goodbye and good riddance!

@Jam4321 He was charming at first to win you, but his true colors came out. Can you imagine him snapping like that over and over again in the future? You did the right thing. Trust me.

@DianneN That's exactly what he did and he sure would have been abusive

The thing is he showed so many good qualities at first and then he just snapped. I am glad I found out early indeed because he could have possibly done something crazy if it went any further.

A lunch could be easily postponed - your mom's doctor's visit should take precedence.

Of course and I did go to my mom's visit. If he didn't like it too bad for him.

Wow he sure is needy! I would never call that guy back. Not worthy to speak to you - good luck to him.

You made the right decision of letting go of him. You'll find another man who'll love you and all that you love.Good thing it came up early while you were still not tied up with him.

I dated a guy who was like that. He would fly into a rage if I had to cancel going to see him because one of my kids got sick. I think this guy did you a blessing showing what he is like. Now you know he is not who you want to be with if he reacts like that.

It's not unreasonable for a person in a committed relationship with you to expect you to put them first, not a parent. That said, to call and expect you to drop plans that were already in place just because they want to do something with you is out of line. To start getting verbally abusive because you decide to honor that commitment is ridiculous, and you're absolutely right to have nothing more to do with him.

I would have done the same thing as you. Family comes first, especially your parents. A date for lunch can always happen when you are both free. Sounds like to me, he wants to be in control of everything.

@Jam4321 Yes, it's a good thing it did end in the early stages. Nobody needs to be with someone whom is going to control them and keep them from their family. Good thing you realized it before it was too late.

Looks like you dodged a high caliber bullet! He was either an abusive person (they tend to cut you off from friends and family) or an incredibly infantile jerk. I hope you don't meet another one like that. There seem to be so many of them these days.

Luckily I was flexible enough to dodge that for real...I will be so cautious the next time around and try as best as possible to avoid another like him. Hope other females are careful.

it was promising, but it's good that you learned this about each other this early. it makes me wonder how he and his siblings treat their own parents. and how he envisions his own senior years. i wonder if he's expecting his wife to dedicate her life to him and only him. but what if her health fails first? would he be there 200% for her ?
