It's beyond being a 15 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: mama's boy. He jokes about her thinking he is her man, 16 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: and I repeatedly tell him it's not funny. I feel 17 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: that she is jealous of the attention he gives me. 18 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: Anything I say or or want to do for him, 19 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: she has to piggyback and try and do it too. 20 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: If he tells me I look nice. She gives me 21 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: a sad look, and he has to compliment her more. 22 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: She has several men, fools around with a married man 23 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: and talks so negatively about marriage. I believe she is 24 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: hoping he will change his mind about marrying me. She 25 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: makes decent money, but she always has her hand out 26 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: for him to buy her things or pay for things. 27 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: I recently told him it's okay to help his mom, 28 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: but we are building a home and trying to have 29 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: a baby, so he needs to set some limits with 30 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: his mom. I love him with all my heart, but 31 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: I think his mom will cause major problems in our relationship. 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: How can I get through to him about his mom? 33 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: What should I do? Please help? This is the first 34 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: time I agree with everything you said in this letter. 35 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: Everything You were right on a point. He is a 36 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: mom's boy. Uh. She is in the business too much. 37 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: She is like um, acting like she's in competition with 38 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: you for his attention. All of that. She if she's 39 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: talking negative to negatively about marriage, she probably is hoping 40 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: he'll change his mind about marrying you. And you're right. 41 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: You guys are trying to build a life together, trying 42 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: to build a home, trying to have a baby. Uh 43 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: you need him for that. Uh. So he needs to 44 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: get some limits with his mom, And I think that's 45 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: the key right there to this whole letter. He does 46 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: need to set some boundaries with his mom, and the 47 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: only way she's gonna get it is if he tells her. 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Don't you step in and try to step to his 49 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: mom and say anything. That's a situation that he needs 50 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: to handle with his mom, and hopefully he will handle it. 51 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: He hasn't handled it up until this point. But you 52 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: need to be stern and firm and telling him that 53 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: do it nicely. Now, do it nicely, no cussin, none 54 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: of dad, you know, all of that that we can do, 55 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: don't do any of that. Just tell him intelligently, set 56 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: him down. Listen, we're trying to build our life together. 57 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: Your mom, you know, has to back up. Even the 58 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Bible says when a man takes a wife, leave and cleave, 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: you know, leave your family and cleave to your wife. 60 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: So he's not doing that. His mom is out of order, 61 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: and she does need to, uh you know, take a 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: back seat, and he needs to be the one to 63 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: explain that to her.
