My mom is super social and outgoing, and although she likes my boyfriend, she doesn’t like having him over. My mom and i live in a small apartment and she says she needs her space to roam around freely and do whatever she wants. My boyfriend (27m) and i have been together for 2 years, but he and my mom aren’t close because of cultural and language barriers.
I’m not really sure how to tell him this without making it seem like she doesn’t like him or that he’s not welcome here. My mom would prefer it if he only came over once in a while, maybe once every 2 weeks, but he comes over once or twice a week, which in my opinion isn’t a lot, but to my mom it is.
So, how can i talk to my boyfriend about this?
Tldr: my mom doesn’t like it when my boyfriend comes over to our apartment often but i’m not sure how to tell him without hurting his feelings.
