In this next story, you'll read about a woman who decides that she's ready to move in with her boyfriend. The obstacle? His mother wants to view her apartment before he moves in, so as to “approve” it beforehand. Like that's going to happen.

This is all speculation, but this is usually how these kinds of dynamics work. There's a power imbalance, and if you're not privy to manipulative tactics, you're just going to assume anybody going against your parent is the bad guy…
