boyfriend's mum a pain

I've been with my boyfriend for 3 and a half years and although his mom is a nice person she is just very bloody possessive and annoying! She has two sons and my boyfriend is the youngest boy. He left 2 weeks ago to start uni and she emails him every morning and rings twice a day. I can understand its hard for him to be so far away although he's only 2 hours away but is it just me or is this just a bit much? I left for boarding school from a different country 6 years ago but my parents didn't ring me nowhere near as much even now I speak to them about once a week and we're close. My boyfriend doesn't seem to mind in fact I think he rather likes it. I know the emails and phone calls aren't going to stop because his brother is in his second year of uni and she still does the same to him. I don't know why this is bothering me so much! It seems so silly but I just needed to let it out after having a video chat invitation rejected for the millionth time because 'mum's on the phone' any ideas how to stop this bothering me so much would be much appreciated! thanks

I'd just try and accept it as aprt of the relationship if I was you, no point getting between a Mammy's boy and her boy 'cause it'll only cause shit :no:
but unfortunately theres nothing you can do, its his mum after all, and youve just got to put yourself in his situation im afraid.
You have to keep it in otherwise you risk losing your boyfriend. If it doesn't calm down then you just have to accept it.
I think it's a bit different also when the kid leaves the country like in your case. My brother did and he gets contacted far less than I purely because of the phone expenses + time difference. But mum loves to call him anyway and does so more thanks to Skype, but it's not as handy as calling me.
If you're trying to talk to your boyfriend but he's on the phone, just delay it and go do something else to distract you. You can also just tell him to contact you when he's finished.
