what should a partner do.. to a "mama's/daddy's" boy/girl?

i think it depends on the situation..Maybe his mom need someone to help her in household..I think he just want to show to his mom how much he love's her and your friend must understand it..I think she can join his boyfriend with his mom so they can also have a bonding..

The best thing to do is to love his mother and try to be a daughter to her. If she has good relationship with the mother, she won't be jealous of her boyfriend's giving her priority over her. It is not sometimes not true that 3 is a crowd! You know what I mean?

You have to look at both sides here. He is being considerate of his mother, but he also needs to spend quality time with girlfriend alone. This is the only way for the relationship to grow. The girlfriend in return has to be understanding that he needs and wants to spend time with his mother also. The mother needs to understand that she can't always be included in the plans. And the boyfriend has to learn to give both ladies quality attention both together and alone.

I think she should discuss it with him, telling him, that she understands the love for his mom, but he should separate the time for both of them equally!!They are the women of his life after all! ;-)

Hello Chiyo, if the boyfriend's mom is bedridden and can no longer function in her won, then it is an acceptable while he cannot leave his mom alone. But If the mom is strong enough to provide on her own and the boyfriend cannot leave her alone, well the guy is probably a Mama's boy. Ive noticed that such kind of guy is not independent, strong and doesn't have dignity. But I am not talking about the majority but that is very usual to a guy. I also cannot leave an advise to your friend because when parents are involved in the relationship of two lovers, it would be very hard for them.

Get separate or divorce if you can't handle the situation or put up with the situation and let that person to take the other one with her/him good luck

well, the boyfriend is simply showing his love to his mother. if your friend really loves her boyfriend, she should understand his situation. however, her boyfriend should set time for his relationship with your friend. he should separate his time with his mother and girlfriend. if not, then his priority is obviously on his mother and not on your friend.

If I had a chaperone with me, that's understandable for a girl. But a guy? It clearly shows that he is not ready for that relationship. Your friend should try to see other people. Just my advice. If she really loves the guy, she can endure but I dunno for how long can she stand always being the one to step back to give way to his mom. She is the GF. Somehow she has the right to demand some time alone with his BF.

I think how I would react depends on why the bf doesn't want to leave his mother alone and has her tag along. If she is unable to be left alone because of a health issue then I would be ok with it to some extent. I would like at least a hour or two of alone time each week with just the boy friend and I without the mom. If it is just that she is needy and doesn't want to be alone, then I think I would talk to the bf and see about finding her interests or other friends to help fill her time. It would still be alright to sometimes hang ou and include her, but we shouldn't be the only ones in her life.

First of all I wonder how old that boyfriend is. I assume he is not a 3-4 year old anymore. At that age I would talk about a mama's boy. Might be interesting to find out why this boyfriend doesn't like to leave his mother home alone. Does he feel responsible for her for some reason? Is she freaking out home alone? May she harm herself and get depressed? Is that boyfriend ever going out without his mom? What does his mother say about it? Does she like to chapperone her son whole time or is this more his wish as her's? I think it's a smart thing to find out why he wants his mom to come along and if she does like that too. I can imagine it's not always great as a parent to go out with your kids (other interests). There is also something else you can do. Introduce the mother to as much people as you can so she has companion and can go have fun/share interests with friends of her own.

Wow! What a situation. Honestly I don't really know what to do in your friends position. But tell her can she handle it in a future and in a long term? Does she prefer for the consequences of the relationship if she continue it? If the answer is no, then tell her to leave the relationship early, or she may suffer it in the long way!

I have noticed for some reason that boys prioritize their parents while girls do their partners. I believe that my mom is the most important person in my life and even if Megan Fox was my girlfriend I would prefer giving time to my mom than my girlfriend!!! A girl's viewpoint on this would really help. I'm also tracking this. As part on the guilty part don't worry what you or your friend is doing is a GOOD GUILT (SORRY LOSS OF WORDS).
