What should you do if your husband is a 'mama's boy'?

Answer 1

AnswerAll intelligent men are "mamas' boys." Another answerThere's being respectful to his mother (which you should encourage), but then there's "I don't care how miserable you are; my sainted mother can do or say any nasty, divisive, demeaning thing she wants to you, and you have to live with it."

Get therapy. You've got to ask yourself why you had so little self esteem that you were willing to put up with being a second-class citizen in your own marriage. And if your husband is unwilling to grow a backbone, you may have to consider stronger measures. Watching you be abused by a third party isn't meaningfully different from abusing you himself.
