My Two Cents
Hi there! I am so ecstatic that you took the time to read what I have to say eventhough you can take it with a grain of salt. I am a new mother of one child and a wife to one husband (can’t imagine the amount of energy for more than one). I enjoy reading, rollerskating and writing. For the life of me, I can’t explain why I didn’t pursue a degree in English.

There is much to be said about the relationship between mothers and sons from the perspective of a girlfriend and later, wife. Some of the concerns I had began in my dating relationship with my then boyfriend. I noticed a few things that in my opinion were inappropriate for “mom” to do. But, who am I? Irritated and ready to listen to other women who are experiencing this same problem. For instance, I found out how close mom and son really were when after dating for several years…mom still knew more or was told more about boyfriend than I was. She was his number one fan. No problem if my boyfriend were still a child under the motherly wings of a concerned parent right? Well, this motherly care and concern transcended the lines of a normal relationship according to the book of “independen women.” When I mentioned my suspicions to my boyfriend, he became very defensive and I should have known then not to proceed into a lasting relationship with him as the issue with his mother would only worsen. Here are some things that went on that were disturbing: (1) excessive phone calls to and from mom. (2) excessive use of swap of each others vehicles (3) negative comments being made from the mother about the girlfriend (4) consultations and solicited advice from son to mother and (5) the need to hang out more than occassionally with the happy dating couple.
I am interested to read what others have to say…

Welcome to the Today network!
…out of curiosity, is there a reason why you did your post as a comment rather than the post itself? It’d look far better up in the body in the text!
Run, run fast.. My first husband had those same exact issues, and then some. His mother was the first one who years later tried to lie in court about his abusive behavior. They never change. Luckily, I am now with a man who loves and respects his mother, but she has no part in our personal life.
By the by, when you mentioned I needed a new background, did you mean my today background?
Thanks for stopping by..
Nipsy…instead of running, I have resolved to simply remove myself from any interactions outside of our daughter. I don’t answer phone calls, rarely respond to her texts and I continue to send acknowlegements when she buys gifts for my daughter. As for hubby, we have recently brought in a third party where I finally revealed that I felt as if I was his second wife. Although change doesn’t occur overnight, I will maintain my distance.
Yes, I believe it is your today background. It has a black background and white writing.
