Man Sends Picture Of Girlfriend To Mom Unaware Of Background

He Was Mortified

Among the pictures that Maison sent to his mom, there was one of Meghan in bed wearing a shirt that Mrs. Vallance had bought for him. 

He found it odd that his mother never replied. The next day when he was looking through the photos he sent, Maison was mortified when he realized that one of the photos unknowingly exposed an intimate detail about his and Meghan’s private life.  

He Was Very Hurt

The photo’s in question showed a red rope left tied to the couple’s headboard. Maison and Meghan were an “adventurous” couple. While he wasn’t ashamed of his private life, Maison was embarrassed that this had been revealed to his mom. 

At worst, Maison expected his mom to be slightly judgemental about the photo. However, days went by without him hearing from his mom. She had stopped speaking to him entirely and wasn’t accepting his and Meghan’s union. But things were about to go from bad to worse. 

We Are In This Together

Before sending the photo, Maison had talked to Meghan about it. However, he hadn’t decided on the photo to send.

It was pure coincidence that he sent that particular one, and when he saw the little red detail in its background, his insides wizened with embarrassment. He had no clue that, just as he was, Meghan was also awaiting his mom’s response. 

Know Yourself 

Meghan had always been free with her likes and dislikes. Her parents had taught her the importance of being one’s true self. As such, she rarely hid things from them.

She lived a free life, accepting every facet of herself, even the sides others would deem unorthodox. This included a very intimate part of herself that she should have kept hidden. 

An Open Book

Among the things that Meghan saw as normal were her likes and dislikes in the bedroom. She was very adventurous, something that she was glad Maison loved about her.

Many people in her life knew this about her, including her parents. Not that she went everywhere flaunting it. Those close enough just knew. Given how she was brought up and how free she was with her parents, she expected the same from Maison’s mom.

A Saint

Throughout the time Meghan and Maison were together, Maison constantly talked about his mom. He painted her as this wonderful, strict, and loving saint.

Even though it was too early to harbor such thoughts, Meghan had considered her as her mother-in-law and loved the idea. She’d never considered the possibility of Maison’s mom not accepting her. 

What’s Happening?

Days passed after Maison sent the photo. No response came. The young couple couldn’t understand it, given how Maison’s mom had talked about wanting to see Meghan.

At first, Meghan thought Ms. Vallance disapproved of how she looked. Did Maison’s mom have something against her looks? Meghan’s mind raced as she tried to uncover the secret. It was then that she saw the detail.

Seeing The Red Rope

At first, Meghan couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Above her hair on the brown headboard was the red rope. Her lips curled as embarrassment rushed through her veins. 

Although she was free with herself, this wasn’t the first impression she wanted to have on Maison’s mom. Could she salvage the situation? 

First Impression Matters

She wanted to be part of their family, and such detail as the first thing Maison’s mom saw wouldn’t help on that front. But Meghan couldn’t just reach out to Maison’s mom without her response first.

Although she hated the silence, she couldn’t help but be patient. But as the days went by, her patience began running thin. She knew she had to step in. 

Their Future 

Meghan talked to Maison about the issue. She didn’t have any negative things to say about Maison’s relationship with her mom. But she couldn’t understand why she was seemingly disowning him because of a picture. 

She shared how much she loved Maison and where she saw their relationship going – to an altar and a long life filled with laughter, memories, and a big family. How could they have that when Maison’s mom wouldn’t talk to them? But she didn’t stop there.

The Reality Of Things 

Meghan shared how much she was close with her mom. She revealed that her closeness to her parents was among the things that made her who she was.

She couldn’t imagine a life where her parents stopped talking to her because of something she’d done. On that note, she shared something that left Maison speechless. 

You And Your Mom

“I don’t want to come between you and your mom, Maison,” she said under her breath, tears breaking through her eyelashes although she tried her best to hold them back.

A sharp pain shot through her as she thought about starting over again, the love of her life far away from her. Could she sacrifice herself for Maison and her mom to start talking again?

 The Choices 

Meghan loved Maison more than she’d ever loved anyone on this earth. But she could see how much torn he was. 

She was making him choose between his mom, the woman who gave him life and unconditional love and taught him everything he knew, and herself. She couldn’t stomach that feeling. Maison’s answer to her statement would make her tears double. 

Choosing A Side

Taking her girlfriend’s trembling hands, Maison assured her he’d never let her go. She was the love of his life, and she completed him in so many ways. 

He told her to forget what she’d just said. She wasn’t coming between him and his mom. If his mother had something to get out of her chest, she would. Maison wasn’t about to let Meghan suffer for any of this. 

What Now?

Things were starting to get out of control. A week had passed with Maison’s mom maintaining her silence and Meghan blaming herself for everything that was happening. 

Although Maison assured Meghan that he’d never leave her, he could see the toll everything was having on her. On the other hand, his mom had made it clear she’d never talk to them again. What could he do now?

Time’s Running Out 

Maison realized he had to address the issue and fast. He hated feeling trapped between his partner and mother, as they were both very dear to him. 

He started calling his mom’s phone repeatedly. He also left messages, telling her if she didn’t pick up, he’d fly back home to talk. He had no clue that the messages would work!

She Picks Up

The next time Maison called, his mom picked up. They had a lengthy talk, and Maison learned what was truly happening behind the scenes. It turned out that his mom had a different reason for her silence. 

Mrs. Vallance had actually been feeling a little down. Seeing Meghan use the shirt she had bought him made her realize that she wasn’t his “little boy” anymore, and she had to make peace with him officially being “all grown up.” 

Her Everything

But the realization left her in a sense of loneliness as she’d never experienced before. Maison was her everything, and she cherished every moment of caring for him.

How could she accept the idea of another woman taking over? She opened up to her son, and Maison listened carefully. It was then that Maison made a discovery. 

They Worked It Out 

His mom’s silence had nothing to do with the photo’s embarrassing detail. When he told his mom that he had begun to feel like she was “disowning” him, she laughed it off. Mrs. Maison assured her son that she would never do something like that. She’d only needed a little time to process everything. 

She was actually ashamed of herself for reacting as she did. Mrs. Vallance never brought up the issue of the “red rope,” and after reviewing the photo sent, Maison suddenly realized why. 

She Never Saw It 

It turned out that when Maison sent the photo, his mom’s phone had automatically cropped the image to fit her screen. This fact had worked out fortuitously for Maison as he realized that the embarrassing detail had been cut out and his mom had never seen it. 

The comedy of errors was over. Maison and Meghan’s mom eventually met, and his family loved her. The couple eventually moved in and even started a family of their own.
