I am in love with a wonderful woman. We are best friends, great compananions and great lovers. She has been divorced now for about 2 years. The problem, centers around her 29 year old daughter. She is so totally obsessed with having her mom at her beck and call any time she visits. Daughter lives about an hour away. Her daughter calls and tells her mom she is coming home, and the daughter expects, and I mean expects her mom to do what ever she wants to do on her time table, with very little and most times no regard to her moms wishes. When she comes in, I step back and don't make a fuss about not seeing my friend, but it is very hard, and just knowing her daughter is so very controlling, really frosts my but because this is preventing us from moving forward in our relationship.

You may have to let this stay between mother/daughter. Getting between them may only cause damage to your relationship to both of them.

Obviously, her daughter has some major issues. I do understand your feelings because if you were to marry your girlfriend, you would have to interact with her daughter on a regular basis.
Since it's bothering you that much, you need to let your girlfriend know how you honestly feel and how the situation affects you and the relationship. If she can't acknowledge your feelings, then I suggest you take a step back in your relationship.

Her daughter needs to grow up BUT her mom has to cut the apron strings and move on with her life. You cannot really fix this situation. You can kindly give suggestions but that is all. Just let them two work it out between them. I hate to say it but you just may be better off letting this woman go if you cannot handle this situation.

If the two of you love each other and are good friends than maybe you should talk to her about this situation before it cause a big riff in your relationship-maybe it is time for mother to talk to her daughter about this matter-she has got to remember that her have a life and it don't always have to be what she wants sometime it should be what her mother wants-but her mother have to correct this situation herself
