Texting With Girlfriend's Mom Goes Awry
GOOD QUESTION
I am a high school guy in a relationship with a classmate. Whenever I go to her house, her mom makes me feel welcome and accepted. But my girlfriend is often in conflict with her. Recently, her mom texted me that she’d read my girlfriend’s diary and asked why she was upset. (She added: “Delete these texts.”) I showed them to my girlfriend. She got really angry and told me to tell her mother not to text me. The texts were weird, but telling her mom what to do didn’t feel right. Now, my girlfriend is mad at me, and her mother is upset that I showed the texts. What do I do?
