Help me out with this one, I've heard enough of that phrase. My daughter's fiance got me hooked on off road riding. On a rare occasion, we'll go to a track together or with friends. And when we get home, that's what I hear. " He's MY boyfriend." I don't get it. I'd love for her to come with. And I like having someone else around when I ride just in case. Frankly, I'm embarrassed that she words her feelings like that.
" He's MY boyfriend"

I'm sorry, but I find a bit o' humor in this, since the first thing I thought of when I read this was the scene in Young Frankenstein when Frau Blücher told Victor that the former Baron von Frankenstein "was my BOYFRIEND!!"

Funny how that all works...I have had, and still have the same problem with one of the other riders in my class. With the exception that she is a lesbian and has a girlfriend that is very jealous over any amount of time we spend at the track together. This jealousy is also regardless of whether or not there are any others at the track.
Given, we have only shared a ride once (the other times don't count...she was bringing me in to the ER!). I still hear the whole "She's my girlfriend and I think you two are spending way too much time together." This stated even though she knows full well that I would never consider
Chili brings an incredibly important point.
The couple I speak of has what I'd consider to be a pretty unhealthy relationship with all the jealousy and mistrust that goes on.

honestly, as long as the dude hasn't "put the moves on you", so to speak, he's probably oblivious to your daughter's feelings about the whole thing.. She should broach the subject with him and get it out in the open.
Unfortunately, he'll probably laugh it off, which will just torque her a little more.
I think of my own situation, and if my mother-in-law rode with me. Just the mere thought of anything, er, untoward happening with her oogs me out. :whoa:

Actually no, it's not a guy thing. It's a woman's insecurity thing. She should be thankful that his passion is something as simple and as harmless as motorcycles.
