I realised that I love my boyfriend’s dad more than him

hi i'm madison and i know that i owe a lot to my mom as she raised me by herself after my dad sadly passed away it's been coming up for seven years but i know she still finds it difficult to move on apart from having one great aunt who lives miles away we don't really have any other relatives because of this mom and i are super close as it's just been the two of us for so long she's been on a few dates since my dad but they usually end up with her coming home then bursting into tears as she feels like she's betraying dad they were so deeply in love that she just can't seem to move on i felt awful for leaving mom to go off to college but i couldn't put my life on hold for her at first i found college challenging as i didn't know anyone and it took me a while to get into the routine of completing assignments and socializing then i met hunter this cute sweet and caring guy he's like the other half of me he too lives just with his dad as his parents have divorced he's from this city so although he has moved out his dad still lives close by after a few months of dating he took me to his dad's home to have dinner on the ride there i asked him if this meant we were an official couple now and he smiled and said yes hunter's dad wasn't what i was expecting he was so handsome charming and gentlemanlike he instantly made me feel so at ease as much as i like hunter he can be immature at times and because of this we quarrel a lot always over stupid things one time when we were staying over at his dad's house i was trying to catch an hour study time but hunter was on his video game and shouting in his mic to his friends i asked him politely to quiet it down but he pulled his headphones off threw them onto the floor and then shouted at me that i was ruining all his fun i ran outside and sat on the porch feeling upset his dad sat down next to me he was so nice and told me fun facts about hunter to try and cheer me up such as when he was five he refused to eat anything but nutella pancakes for a full week and he only gave in when he ended up sick he told me that hunter was a good guy but he had a stubborn streak he said i had to be a little understanding towards him and he hoped that we would have a great relationship since he really liked me too then we went inside and he made me a coffee and told me more funny stories about hunter he was so caring and grown up and he'd never flip out at me over some dumb video game at that moment i suddenly realized something i had a massive crush on my boyfriend's dad i found myself thinking about hunter's dad pretty much all the time i knew that hunter worried about him being alone so it was easy to persuade him to take me their most weekends i would cook and clean the place up and it meant i had an excuse to chat to his dad the more time i spent with him the deeper my feelings became it soon developed from a crush into love i knew i was wrong to stay with hunter when i didn't have feelings for him anymore but if i ended it with him then i would lose contact with his dad and i couldn't bear the thought of that my need to be close to his dad led me to do strange things one time i put extra vodka in his drink to try and get him drunk so he would talk to me more freely but he just ended up falling asleep i snuck into his room and took one of his used t-shirts i keep it in my bedside drawer and sometimes i take it out and smell it so i can breathe in his scent i also peaked a look through the door when he was changing clothes in his room o m g i could see that he had a great body weird i know but i'm just so obsessed with him it's sending me crazy one time my mom came to visit me for a few days and hunter thought it'd be nice to invite his dad along too and we arranged to all go out for dinner we met outside the restaurant and they both hugged each other like they were old friends oh wait it turns out they were old friends as they both went to college together to my dismay they got along really well after dinner it was getting late so they kept shoeing us two youngsters away to go have fun so they could continue to catch up i didn't want to leave but everyone else insisted and my childish boyfriend wanted to go to a bar so he could drink shots for the rest of the night i couldn't relax i couldn't stop thinking about what my mama and hunter's dad might be doing mom decided to stay in the city for a little longer before she headed home and hunter's dad made sure to show her around when seeing her off at the airport i felt kind of relieved although i love her a lot and want to see her more often seeing her with his dad makes me have an uneasy feeling i'd rather have her just stay at home and i'd come to visit her from now on the next morning was weekend i baked a cake for hunter's dad my excuse was that it was a thank you cake for taking us out for dinner and for being so kind to my mom we arrived at his house to find him in his kitchen with my mom worse still he was in just his pj pants and she was only wearing her dressing gown my mom blushed and looked so embarrassed but hunter's dad reassured her that we're all grown-ups here so much for her going home it turns out she hadn't even left the city i fake smiled and made out like i was cool with it but i was so not cool about it a month later and they're still seeing each other i want my mom to be happy but not with him i love him now whenever mom calls me i try to lowkey mention dad and the things we used to do as a family i guess i'm trying to make her feel guilty about moving on which i know is bad am i being too much what should i do i want my mom to find happiness but my heart couldn't take it seeing her being with him i don't know what to do for the best
