Mama's Boy

Quote From: sbeilke

I raised a husband and have finally escaped after 35 years.   It is devistating to him to lose another mommy.  I see him withering away because he does not know how to live without one.  I love him as a human being but so glad I got away and still feeling guilty for "ruining his life".

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.

CUT YOUR LOSSES AND LEAVE

I left after I'd spent 32 years with him and realized he would never truly be my husband if he refused to divorce his mother.  Cut your losses and get out before you've spent a lifetime and all your best years playing a game you will never win.
