In his post, the man detailed his girlfriend’s outraged reaction at discovering he’d been sharing a bed with his mom, revealing how she furiously criticized him – and even went as far as to accuse him of having sex with his parent.

The unnamed woman’s beau took to Reddit to question if others found it odd that he allowed his mom to sleep in the same bed as him while she was in town

The post read: ‘My girlfriend, 24, and I, 26,  have been dating for about 4 months now. My Mom, 49, was coming in town and planned to stay with a friend of hers but the train got delayed so the friend couldn’t pick her up. I went to pick her up and she asked if she could stay the night at my apartment. I said yes of course.’ 

However, when his girlfriend discovered his mom would be staying the night at his place, she said, ‘That’s weird. What’re you gonna do have sex with your mom? Don’t you think that’s weird?’ 

The man clapped back at his lover and branded her ‘gross.’ 

He explained that he and his family has always been close and when traveling, he would share a bed with his 22-year-old sister, adding that would ‘rather sleep in my bed than sleep on the couch or kick my Mom onto the couch.’

Despite his attempt to clarify the situation, his girlfriend wasn’t buying it. 

He added: ‘She is still sending jabs through messages asking if my mom and I played footsie last night in bed and asking if I was going to change the sheets or if I preferred my mom’s smell on them. 

‘I told her the comments are making me uncomfortable and I’d prefer if they stop. She then goes on to tell me that she’s just not getting clarity on how this relationship is any different from her ex’s relationship with his mother. 

‘Saying that her ex was very close with his mom and his mom did not like her at the end of the relationship.’ 

People on Reddit flooded the comments section, with many of them slamming his girlfriend

He noted that he is unsure of his girlfriend’s relationship with his parents because the pair had met on a dating app and they are still learning about each other, but he assumed his partner is ‘intimidated/jealous’ of his mom.

The boyfriend said: ‘It seems like she wants me to distance myself from my mother to not be like her ex.’ 

At the end of the post, he questioned if her behavior and the ‘gross’ comments were a ‘red flag.’   

People on Reddit flooded the comments section, with many of them slamming his girlfriend. 

One person wrote: ‘Your girlfriend sounds gross. The fact that she literally asked you if you’re going to have sex with your mom.’ 

Another person commented: ‘It’s a red flag, she can’t comprehend people can share a bed and not be sexual.’ 

‘She also sounds jealous and insecure,’ wrote someone else.

Many people branded the girlfriend ‘gross’ and ‘jealous’

One person commented: ‘She’s projecting big time. Sexualizing a relationship with his mother is disgusting. Also, projecting her past relationship on to her present relationship is very bad. In her mind she is already painting OP with the same brush and that is completely uncalled for.’

One person said: ‘Exactly. His mother made him and he came out of her, yet it’s weird to share a bed with this family member…no. The girlfriend is the weird one, stop sexualizing the situation.’ 

Someone else added: ‘I can see her thinking it’s weird but the sexual comments are inappropriate.’ 

Another user commented: ‘Exactly. She crossed a line and instead of trying to have a conversation and share her own experiences that could end in some kind of understanding on both sides she chose to make insults.’ 

One user said: ‘My thoughts exactly! She is a walking red flag. ‘ 

One person wrote: ‘If there was only one bed available then there’s nothing wrong with it in my opinion. I would share a bed with my mother in that scenario too.

‘I can only imagine the people who have a problem with it have incest on the brain 24/7 or something.’

However, there were a couple of users who said that the man sharing a bed with his mom was a little odd

Another user added: ‘I don’t see how its weird as a son to sleep in the same bed with your mom, the woman who carried and gave birth to you. I do thinks its weird how your gf responded and just keeps going on and on.’

However, there were a couple of users who said that the man sharing a bed with his mom was a little odd. 

One person commented: ‘I personally find it weird that you slept in bed with your mom when you have a couch, I might suspect mommy’s boy kind of behavior but even so I’d keep that to myself, your girlfriend sounds nasty.’ 

‘I personally would never share a bed with either of my parents as an adult or even a teen, but I do understandably there are cultural differences here. I feel like the sexual suggestions would be a huge deal breaker though,’ wrote one person.

Someone said: ‘I think it’s weird but it just depends on family dynamics. I’m female and would share a bed with my mom if I had to, but not my dad. I’ve shared beds with my daughter, step daughter, sister and friends but it would feel very odd with dad and even my step son for that matter. That being said, I’d ditch your gf as anyone worth your time would never treat you that way. ‘

‘It is not inherently weird, but I can see how other people with different upbringings would find it weird,’ commented one user.
