Honest confessions of women married to mumma’s boys

Here are some honest confessions

So many married women face this major issue of living with a boy, not a man who is still attached to his mother with an invisible umbilical cord. The mother is unable to let go of her son even if she is the one who forced him to get married. There are so many issues that are discussed and written about and many can also be debatable. Here are a few honest confessions of women married to mumma’s boys and we wonder if you face the same? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

2/5

He would sleep next to his mom after our fights

When we got married, I knew he was very attached to his mother and I was okay with that but what happened after our first post-marriage major fight, shocked me. We had a major fight over an issue and then when it was time to sleep, he picked up his bedding and went to his mom’s room. He hugged and slept there and this happened for two nights straight. I agree that we all want to relive those childhood memories with our parents sometimes but I found this absurd! We are in our 30’s! What was worse? His mom did not even make him understand anything, she was so fine with it as if it happens a lot.

3/5

His obesity is encouraged by mommy dearest

My husband is an obese man and he has developed several health issues due to that. His mother feeds him whatever he demands. Every day there is red meat, fried chips, and maida-based noodles in the evening and the list does not end there. He is 60 kg overweight and I am worried. As much as I try to control his diet, his mother baby talks with him and makes whatever he fancies. Her response is “Mera beta jo chaahega usko milega” (My son will get whatever he wants). I told her that he could die due to his health issues, and she asked me to fast for him. It is ridiculous!

4/5

His mom is his priority

After 2 years of marriage and a baby on the way, the man still prioritises his mother over me. This includes the fruits in the house, shopping, booking flights for “our” vacation, who should sit next to him in the car… I do not get to have the first bite of any delicacy made in the house, cooked by him and if by mistake, I eat the last apple, I am dead meat! He loses it! He scolds me for not considering his mother for the last apple in the house. I feel so humiliated. That I have to struggle for such stupid things that mean much at the end of the day. He makes me feel so irrelevant sometimes. His own father told me once that I am not alone in this!

5/5

He is willing to break our marriage for his mom

My husband is about to break our marriage.. because yes he is a mumma's boy and he never believes me. His mother is two-faced. She has done everything she could to break us apart and has finally succeeded. My mother-in-law was so much into his son's life that she expected me to answer every day about our sex life. And the dear son never accepted the fact that this is what his mother had been doing. He blamed me for sharing the details with her whereby I had been telling his mother the fact that it's okay that things are not fine between us but eventually they will be. But sh** happens. I had been an idiot in letting her succeed in drifting us apart. But this is how mumma's boys function!
