My husband has a very close relationship with his mom, by that I mean he talks with her everyday on the phone and many times a day. He visits her and he drives her to run her errands even though she can do it herself. He shares with her everything he does in his life and sometimes I feel I am left apart because he shares with her more things than with me. Do you think this is normal? Is your husband/boyfriend too close with his mom? If he is or if he was, How do/would you feel about that?

I think it is just normal coz there's a bond between them that nothing and no one can break. It shows that he has a lot of respect and love to his mother and that is also how he will treat you. The first love of a man is really with his mother. If he knows how to do that to his mom then he could do that to you. For me, it's really okay and I'll be happy with that. :)

My husband is closer to me than his mom, which I think is the norm. If he were too close to his mom and his mom were healthy, I think I would feel uncomfortable, maybe inadequate, and possibly insecure. However, if the case were that his mother was ill or sickly, then I would think that he's being a good son for taking care of his mother.
Otherwise, your husband needs to understand that he's married to you, not his mother. I think you should talk to your husband about how you feel and your concerns, and see where he's coming from.
