Lookback: 6 months after moving in

“Moved in together without discussing household decision-making”

My boyfriend relies on his mother for every household decision, making me feel like I'm living in a thrupple and killing my attraction to him

What I wish I knew
"How to discuss setting boundaries with his mother without feeling like I'm attacking her"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate your needs and set boundaries with your partner's family to maintain a healthy relationship"
