Im marrying a Momma's Boy!

Tash, on September 23, 2013 at 4:12 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 18

My FH is such a momma's boy! We recently sat down and went over finances for the wedding. Im freaking out because things are adding up quite quickly and he seems to not care one bit. We both work full time, with no kids, and own investment property, so it's not like we're going broke, but I feel as though I am the only one paying for things for the wedding! (a little history on my FH is that he is extremely cheap, he calls it frugal). So when I told him yesterday that I needed some of his checks (we haven't gotten a joint account yet), he told me not to worry about because his mom will handle it! He said that whatever we can't afford, she has agreed to foot the bill for. Not that I mind the help, but he is such a momma's boy.

Who else is marrying a momma's boy!? Lol

    ::raises hand:: ME! ME! We're going to Mexico for our honeymoon, and my FH doesn't have a passport. My FMIL drove to the town he was born in (30 minute drive) to go to City Hall and get his long form birth certificate, and then she stopped at the post office to get him the passport application!! All I can do is shake my head and laugh.

    I am. But his momma is pretty awesome so I don't mind.

    We did open a joint checking account for the wedding though. I have a portion of my check direct deposited each payperiod, and he transfers money in at least monthly. It has made everything more "our money" for the wedding, which has been nice.

    Laura, we have been meaning to do that since we got engaged, but we haven't gotten around to it! That's something I need to get on because I merged my savings with my wedding savings, and I don't think that's a good thing! Lol

    Emmerdoodle, that's funny. What mom's will do for their sons! Lol I love his mom though, she is such a sweetheart, and will bend over backwards for us!

    Definitely marrying a momma's boy myself. If I didn't love him (and his sweet mom) so much it would drive me bonkers! I just have to smile and shake my head sometimes, haha. Spoiled rotten!

    I did not. My husband loves his mother, but he's not a momma's boy at all. She didn't assist in the planning or financing of our nuptials.

    Amy, you may be right!

    @hellothere his mother being such a sweet little lady does make it much easier to deal with! Lol

    Amy's right! Mines actually not really a Momma's boy (she lives 2700 miles away and she really is awesome I love her) he just needs a few minor tweeks in the right direction and he's great!

    I'd feel a helluva lot more secure marrying a guy who loved his mother as opposed to marrying one who disrespected her.

    Not me thank goodness. Fh is close to his mom but not to that point. Either way his mom actually likes me so it doesn't matter. At least mamas boys listen to their women especially if they remind them of their mothers or are liked by their mothers

    Not me. He loves his mom and wants to make her proud but he's definitely not a momma's boy. I'm the one in the relationship that can't seem to cut the umbilical cord.

    Not me. My FH's mom died when he was a child, so he was raised by a very bachelor father (and his godparents helped keep him sane and semi-decent). You can tell he was raised by a complete bachelor - he's messy, disorganized, etc. Lol.

    I have a rule about mama's boys - I won't date one (so there's no worry about marrying one). Search for "FMIL Rant/Vent" on WW and you'll know why Smiley smile. FH tolerates his mother. I have little to no relationship with her and plan to keep it that way. He says he loves her but I think he says that bc he knows he's "supposed to." She made the life choice to marry FH's AWFUL stepdad when FH was a kid. There were harsh consequences for her decision. We're pleasant to her but our non-relationship with her keeps the drama way down. Super thankful for that!

    Ladies marrying those MB's - STAY PATIENT!

    @FutureMrsHagan, NO WAY! She wanted to come along on your honeymoon! That is outrageous!

    @The Future Amy Everhart, my MB isn't that bad, he's just spoiled beyond measure! His older sister is coming up on the big 40 and she is still spoiled by them. I have definitely made him a little more independent of his parents, but somethings will never change, and I've learned that. Im just glad that his mother isn't one of those nasty FMILs that try to take over!
