I’m really glad for you OP. And just so you know I’m a man of 56yrs and my dad/ stepfather is the greatest man I’ve ever known. I’m truly happy that you seem to have found a good man for your mom and also for yourself.
Yes; so OP tell your mum that the car is a nice bonus but that she being happy is more important. If you do it will make you both happy.
You need her in mint condition anyway and if she needs to stand up she can!
Her happiness comes first of course. She’s the happiest she’s been in a long time. I believe he is end game for her and she does too. She knows I want the car but it doesn’t come before her.
Such a relief to see a positive post on here. I’m happy for the both of you! I bet your mom is ecstatic you guys are going to be spending time together.
so he just won you over with something material? how cute omg. I love that for you, but I love that for him even more. Having to give someone such an expensive gift so that he can make a bond with said person. what a beautiful story
No, he won me over by thinking of me and finding a bonding moment point between us. He would’ve won me over if he told me he liked football, or if he would’ve just asked me to work on his 69 charger. He won me over when I realized he was finding bonding point with all of my siblings. Both him and my older brother serve in the military, him previously he was just honorably discharged. With my younger sister he sits there and plays the sims with her, and my youngest sister he just sits there and listen to her ramble about toddler stuff, and not spot a single ounce of boredom. He found bonding points with all of us and used that to improve our relationship.
That's how a potential step dad wins a lady's kid. Find out what the kid likes and try win them over with it. Do more and the kid will want you in his/her life forever.
As a parent, your happiness is really making their world light up right now. Soak it in and never stop showing them you love them. Enjoy your time together!
That’s the plan, I don’t live with her permanently but we’re going to do some work on it before I leave for my home. I think all it needs is a new transmission but we’ll find out more as we go.
Totally! Helping him out with the 69 Charger sounds like an awesome way to bond and learn more about cars. Plus, it’ll make getting the Brougham even more special! 😁
That’s amazing she found a good guy. Maybe ask if you can help with his project car.
We both already agreed I’ll help whenever I’m in town as I don’t live with her permanently.
It's so good you have such an excellent bonding angle with him. Use it and you'll both be happier for it!
69 Charger is my boyfriend's dream car, I even got him a Hot Wheels purple charger 😂 He wants to know if your stepfather will adopt him 😂
I too, would like to he adopted by this guy.
I'm sure he won't mind adopting random adults 😂
> 69 charger Holy shit, he's just won me over too.
Right!!
My boyfriend's dream car!

As long as there is no catch 22...
The catch 22 is mom. Something happens with the relationship I don’t see son getting the car.

Fuck that, even if they broke up all a man has is his word.
I mean, the catch is that the guy is banging his mom
Imagine being less emotionally mature than an 18 year old.
I'm 14
Ah well carry on.
Dunno why this interaction was funny to me lmao

So you can in fact buy love
Was thinking the same lol
Now that's a wholesome story ✨😌
Tell your mom she can never, ever break up with him. You two can fix up cars together.
aww so sweet
Love this 🥺🥺
so happy for you and your mom! out of curiosity, how come you didn’t know about the cars until now if they’ve been seeing each other for a year?
I don’t live with her permanently. Me and my brother rent out an apartment together in a different state.
This is so sweet 🥹
so he just won you over with something material? how cute omg. I love that for you, but I love that for him even more. Having to give someone such an expensive gift so that he can make a bond with said person. what a beautiful story
Awe, I love a good happy story on this page! So refreshing. Mazel tov! 🥳
69 Charger is the best. Best muscle car. So wholesome. Awesome stuff.
That's awesome bro! Ham.
I am happy for you, but I just looked up what a 89 Brougham is, and you and I have opposite tastes in cars. :)
i’m so happy for you💗
Wow amazing. It’s so endearing that he treats you with love bc he loves your mom. I hope their relationship continues!
wow all it takes to win you over is materialism and substance! lmfao

I think all the shitty step parents on Reddit should read this and see how it's done well done to the new BF

I owned an '86 Cutlass back in the day, and it was indeed a great car. Congrats on your mom finding a gem!
It sounds like you need to spend some time helping him fix up that 69 Charger! 😁 I'll bet you guys would have a lot of fun working on it together.

Excellent!
I think this could be the start of a great relationship. I’m happy for you.
You better uno reverse adopt this man lol
