OH NO! MY HUSBAND IS A MAMA'S BOY!!! Will you stay with him or leave?

Its a kind of dilemma every woman does want but true enough this happens. Keeping lines open for couple should be observed, a wife has all the right to tell her husband what she feels and contrarily, she has to listen whatever her husband's reasons. If the husband continues to become too dependent for his mother a relationship wouldnt last long, the wife will always comes to the point of finding either way for her own or meet someone new, I don't know for some but I speak generally.

I would tell im that you are not comfortable with the situation, and that it has to change, if he refuses to do so, you may want to give serious consideration to ending the marriage. Most things can be worked out though so maybe this can be also.

If it was that obvious, I wouldn't marry him in the first place.

The title of your post made me smile because I once wrote an article titled “Reasons To Keep Your Distance From A "Momma's Boy" It is on my blog under Dating and Relationships (check my profile), I won’t post the link here in case it is not allowed but it depicts my own experience with a so called momma’s boy and no, I did not marry him and for that I am thankful! I would have to have a serious talk to him because there would be growing up required on his part if he wanted to keep his marriage!

Hi, I have to provide a male's point of view here. I think you have reason to have concern since his allowing mother to continue making decisions in his life especially where finaces are concerned interferes with a smooth running marriage. I know of a few men that allowed their mom's to handle the finances before marrying and moving out and it has been problematic for all of them. I would not blame you if you did not tolerate it. But perhaps you can make him aware of how important it is to the marriage that he begin to get out from under mom's skirts. Are you sure that there were no indications of this prior to the marriage that you may perhaps have ignored? It would seem that there had to be some indication of a man that does not handle his own finances. Perhaps calling home when he was on a date with you or something like that.

For me, you should talk to him. When someone is married, the closest person for him/her should be his/her spouse. Another thing, he should give you the money to budget though it is also good to give SOME to his mother especially if his mother is still functional. Talk to him calmly and don't shout 'cause shouting would only make the two of you hot with anger and have nothing to resolve but more problems.

hmm that is hard. i think it would really be difficult if your bf or husband is too attached to his mother and for sure you will feel the burden of him not having his own decisions. I would guess though that what we need is to understand a bit more, and be more patient... when you love this person you have got at least to try and live with what he really is... but i would agree that there could still be a lot of whole other reasons to consider before you leave him... when i do not handle his money, as a wife i will feel offended. and i will talk to him about it. i should let him reverse and let me handle the money and give the mother her allowance. my understanding of a marriage is that the man and the wife should leave their families and they form their own family... that includes the wife being the care taker of their OWN home. parents, siblings become 2nd degree families when one decides to marry....

It's a major turn off when you know that your husband is a mama's boy. It is kinda disappointing. Her mother should not interfere when it comes to money because its time for you to earn and save money for a better future. It is not bad to be close to your mother but if she is interfering in personal problems with your husband, then it is not right. She must know what her limitation is. Your husband must learn how to become independent and not rely to his parents.
