You wrote my story. After 32 years I divorced my husband and I recall saying aloud as I stood in the living room alone after the judge awarded the divorce, "Well, you finally got him back Mama. He's all yours." With a mama's boy a wife will never win. I could never come in first because he hadn't divorced his mama yet. I became convinced that there was even a sexual component to his attachment to his mother, though I doubt that he was aware of it and he would never have admitted it even to himself. For any young wife who discovers she's married a mama's boy, I would advise her to cut her losses and divorce him before she devotes an entire lifetime to a half-marriage where only his mother wins.
