I seem to only date mammas boys. Although I think it is a important quality in a guy to have a good relationship with his mom it is annoying when it is too much of a good relationship. Here is my latest, my 34 year old boyfriend has his mom controlling his money, he gets his paychecks deposited into her bank account and phones her 10 times a day to make transfers. His reasoning on this is she is an invester and he cant budget money. I was really annoyed as I thought it was ridicuolous he can't mangae it himself but tried to bit my tongue until one night when he brought me out to diner and he called her in the middle of diner to get money transfered to pay for it. Her response was "can't your girlfriend pay for her own diner". They then got in a argument in the middle of what was supposed to be a nice supper and I got mad because I thought it was rude and also the fact that this is the extent that mom having control over his money goes to. After a few days of arguing over the matter he finally said he would manage his own money until today he told me he was now getting a joint accout with his mom! Thats not really getting your own account now is it? He also explained that his mom told him she got jealous because he never brings her out for dinner or bought her a mothers day present...woow. And now his moms probably pissed of at me for getting pissed of that she controls his moneY! I just think it is ridiculous and is driving me a bit crazy. Does anyone else have any "mamas boys" storys to get off their chest?

Wow, this is unreal!! I would have probably stormed out of the restaurant right then and there not caring if I made a scene. I would have been quite upset as well, and let him know you thought that was pretty Low, and if his Mom controlled him and his money that way, then she should be there having dinner with him instead of you. I am sure this was a Big lesson learned for sure, and you will be a lot better from this as well.

I never know that my ex boyfriend was a mama's boy until during our break up. He does everything she tells him to do. He was 51 years old. I am so glad that I am out of this relationship. These guys do not have a spine in their bodies. That was a disgusting and irresponsible behaviour on your boyfriend part. I wouldn't sit down in that restuarant until the conversation was over. I would have work. Are you sure that woman is his mother.

I once dated a guy whose mother still did his laundry for him, claiming that it wouldn't get "clean" if he tried to do it himself. Keep in mind that he was old enough to drink and had his own apartment. I ran in the other direction as quickly as possible. Unfortunately some of the nicest men have unhealthy attachments to their mothers. I guess it all depends on how much you are willing to put up with for the sake of love.
