'I feel like as adults we should be able to handle stuff on our own': Boyfriend asks his mother for advice, but her dislike for his girlfriend has her wondering if she should leave

There are people in our lives who are there to help us in different ways. As a kid, you go to your teacher when one of your classmates is mean in school. As a teen, you reluctantly go to your parents when you need to get picked up from that party you previously said you weren't going to. At work, your colleague in confidence. In finances, your accountant. In feelings, your therapist, in life, your best friends. People come into our lives each with a different purpose, and it's our job to figure out the balance. Learning who can handle a crisis and who is just a fairweather friend is one of the greatest lessons life can teach you.

There are some issues that require us to cast a wide net for advice, relationship issues being the number one. Friends, parents, strangers on the internet. There's no limit as to who can help with heartache, as long as you keep it well spread. One woman had an issue with that when her boyfriend constantly talked to his mother about their relationship troubles. It's one thing to ask for mom's advice on girls, but to go to her for every issue? Read on to see if you think it makes sense.
