Ok, so I will try to keep this short, especially that I have not been active here in ages, and even before that I haven't managed to form any connections because of what an antisocial freak I am.

Anyways, my story dates back 5 years when my parents divorced and both my mom and i were depressed and we moved abroad with my brother. It was a hard first year, and I became sortta overprotective of my mom, to the point were all my feelings of anxiety were bottled up to not stress her even more. She got bad health anxiety, and i am still plagued by visions of her getting ill.
Now, slowly things started improving and she got a new boyfriend, which really made me happy, because i want to see her enjoying life. He is a good guy, I think .
They have had an argument today, which he started by getting mad at her for swimming off at the beach without saying anything. I'm starting to notice all those differences between them (and so are they), and i am so scared it will not work out. Also, they have just bought a house together, which sort of just makes it worse if it doesn't work out. I can't help but get mad at him, cause she really deserves the best...

Their relationship is really something that you can't control even tho it affects you greatly. You are forced in to the position of observer, and maybe a minor advisor to your mom. some relationships are stormy and there's nothing you can do about it. It will work out on its own. Let your mom know how you feel about how he acts as she may need some support with her own thoughts.

That sounds like the most typical harmless couple argument ever:) I wouldn't worry about it buddy:) I wish you and your mom the best!

Minor argument, don't stress. They'll get past it. Whenever they argue don't intervene, let them work it out together and be supportive of your mom. Best wishes :)

Well I would wait and see how things go. You may fear the worst from past experiences. It is really alright in a relationship if people argue a bit. It's really their business and I think they will work it out. Just hang in there and see what happens.
