Reasons Why You Should Never Date a Momma’s Boy
Any guy who adores his mother and maintains a close relationship with her is a keeper. However, some men have overly close relationships with their mothers. Some of them even have a creepy vibe to them. For momma’s boys, their mother will always come first, and you will always come second.
Unless you want to be constantly compared to his mother, or have her drop by unannounced on a regular basis, avoid a momma’s boy at all costs. Here are Reasons Why You Should Never Date a Momma’s Boy
1. They do not establish emotional boundaries with their mothers
Most men draw a line between their romantic relationships and their time with their mothers.
However, many men are emotionally dependent on their mothers and have no emotional boundaries in place. As a result, your boundaries will be constantly tested, and you may not always feel respected.
2. He’ll make comparisons between you and her
Being compared to an ex-girlfriend is unpleasant, but you know what’s even worse? Being compared to his mother, because you’ll always come up short.
A momma’s boy will compare everything you do, from what you cook to what you don’t do well. You’ll never meet the standards, and something will always go wrong. Go out and find someone who values you!
3. What mom says is final
Finally, as his partner, you should be the one who makes the most important decision. Even if mom has nothing to do with the situation, he will always give her the final say.
A fight between couples should be kept between the two of you. Giving someone else power over your relationship is a recipe for disaster.
4. She’ll be the third wheel on your vacations
Nothing beats taking some time off from work to explore a new location with bae.
But forget about romantic notions, because instead of jetting off on a spontaneous trip somewhere exotic, you’ll be making reservations for three rather than two.
She may tell you she will leave you alone on the trip, but she will be present at all times, or will call you frequently for updates.
5. The wedding will be a disaster
People usually fear a bridezilla, but the mother-in-law-to-be can be an even scarier monster. Even if she’s not paying, your fiancee’s mother will most likely be a control freak on your wedding day.
Oh, and she’ll want to be involved in every single detail, such as gown shopping and cake tasting. Worse, your husband will most likely be preoccupied with your mother during the ceremony. You’re essentially marrying her as well.
6. Choosing sides
When it comes to arguments, you always want your boyfriend or husband to be on your side, but a momma’s boy will always be in mommy dearest’s pocket, no matter what. It’s most likely the reason his previous relationships failed. If she confronts you and you resist, your partner will become involved, but it will not end well for you.
7. A battle for affection
Couples’ public displays of affection are common. A mother and her son? Not at all.
Some of these mothers may become alarmed if they see their son kissing or showing affection while they are present. Others may attempt to compete by being physically affectionate with their son. In either case, it’s disgusting and raises a red flag.
8. She’ll show up at your place
Even worse than crashing a vacation is when bae’s mother shows up unannounced at your house. Regardless, she’ll be there every day, and even if she doesn’t come every day, she’ll probably overstay her welcome every time.
Even if you beg your man not to give his mother a key, she will be horrified and the relationship will suffer as a result.
9. You can’t change him
Even if you hope that one day he will prioritize you over his mother, chances are he will not. As women, we frequently try to save men, but people aren’t fixer-uppers.
They can only alter their behavior if they want to. Co-dependent relationships take years to develop and sometimes never do. Accept her place in his life and relegate him to the friend zone, where he belongs.
10. He is incapable of making his own decisions
We understand being undecided. However, if someone needs to run every decision by their mother, it’s a sign that they need to mature.
Whether it’s what to eat for dinner or future life plans, you can bet he’ll consult her before making a decision.
