Is this normal? My boyfriend is jealous of me and his son.

This is not a troll

I'm a 32 year old woman and my boyfriend is 47. He moved into my place a year ago and he has a son from a previous relationship. One day he told me that his son needed a place to stay temporarily because he no longer wanted to live with his mom. His son is 22 years old.

I accepted for him to stay at my place and so far I've done nothing but be nice to his son. I have cooked for him and done favors when my boyfriend can't.

His son usually plays video games in the living room and the other day I was hungry and I wanted to go to the kitchen. I was already in my pijamas because it was almost time to go to bed so I put on a sweater on top of my pijamas but I kept my shorts from my pijamas on the bottom and I told my boyfriend "I'm going to the kitchen to get something" and he said ok. So I passed by the living room to go to the kitchen, but I didn't see it as a big deal since his son was literally in front of the tv playing games. And I walked by next to him, not in front of him.

My boyfriend started saying that I disrespected him and his son, that I'm a cheater, and that I like to provoke men because what I was wearing was not appropriate. I swear I didn't do anything. I just walked to the kitchen!!!!  So I told him that it's my house and it's not fair that I can't feel comfortable and that he shouldn't bring his son if he thinks of me that way.

He started telling me that he was going to move out with his son because of what happened. I think my boyfriend is so ungrateful after I opened the doors for his son.

Today however he started apologizing as if nothing had happened but I don't know if I should forgive him. What do you think?

Get those two losers OUT of your home ASAP. This isn't going to end well for you.

The father has OPENED the door for his son to now DISRESPECT you in your own home. Shame on him for even asking you to allow his grown ass son to move in. Stop cooking for that grown boy. Stop. He should be working, volunteering or in school. That's likely why he didn't want to stay w his mother; so he could be a bum at someone else's expense.

Your man is disrespectful. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Tell your dude that the relationship is over and get him and his seed out of your damn house.

His reaction is a huge red flag...even if it happened elsewhere and no son was involved.

In a LTR, there will he hundreds of occasions when one dislikes something about their partner: from dressing, to opinion, to behaviour. The clue to how long your relationship will last, is how well he/she responds: from tolerance, to observation, to argument, to insults and threats.

Your partner went straight to insults and threats. This is how he will react in the future, including to similar situations, when you think you did nothing wrong. Do you really want someone, who belittles you out of the blue, as your SO?

I hope you get the message.

We split the rent with my boyfriend and both pay bills but his son is not paying for anything. He's basically living for free and my boyfriend still supports him. He doesn't even do his own laundry because his dad does it for him. It seems like he grew up spoiled.

The shorts that I was wearing were loose and not fit. Maybe they were a bit too short but it's not like I was exposing myself right in front of his son and his eyes were on the tv while he was playing his games. I just wanted to go to the kitchen for a moment and even told my boyfriend before I went. If he didn't agree then he should've told me!!! But he blew up afterwards
