How do I deal with my girlfriend’s overprotective mom?
I’m 24 she’s 22 and we’ve been together for 4 months. Her mom doesn’t necessarily have her tied to her house, she’s able to come to my place often and sleep there. Her mom is pretty much just controlling her life. She has canceled a few dates we had planned. She forces my girlfriend to do so many things for her. Her mom is even controlling her finances which is annoying to me too. My girlfriend hasn’t fully stood up to her mom and tell her she needs to make her own decisions. Should I let this play out and see where it goes? I know there’s pretty much nothing I can do, but how can I deal with it?

Go with the flow, as you said. The mom doesn't sound that bad.
She apparently believes her daughter needs to be taken care of. That may be your job someday.

Eventually, your girlfriend will get tired of her mom's behavior. Sadly your girlfriend will look back when she's mid 20's and see that she allowed her mother to control so much of her even when she was considered grown. Hopefully, this doesn't take a strain on your relationship with one another. who knows her mom is probably the reason she has been single. You should just let it unfold. and playout.
good luck!
