SORRY IT'S SO LONG!! I have been dating a momma's boy for the past three years. I've been trying to make things work but she hates me and will do anything to make sure her son does exactally what she wants. I want to move in with him next year but I'm afraid he will expect me to take the place of his mother (washing his clothes, cooking, cleaning, etc. and he's 20!!) He fulfills all of her ludacris requests including massaging her back, which he won't even do for me and I'm his girlfriend!! He won't even stand up to her after she stole his identity and borrowed $20,000 in his name!! What should I do? How can I get him away from his mother so he can grow up!!?? and for those of you who have experience with this, will I ever win this battle? Thank you.
Shes been around since birth. If he cant differentiate at 20 hes never going to. Unless, just possibly unless, he sees his life getting completely fucked because of his mother. Thats the problem. You want to affect change in his life, but from his perspective change isnt really neccesary. Hes probably pretty happy. His mom is happy with him. Hes got a girlfriend.
Show him that there are prices to pay for being unable to grow up. One of those prices is the inability to maintain a decent relationship. Its the only way hes going to grow as a person.

It seems as though he is some what scared of his mother. I get where your coming from with not wanting to take the place of his mum with cooking etc, but just remember that being a girl sometimes thats what we have to do plus sometimes if we don't do it ourselves it will never get done. Hopefully as soon as you move in together he'll start changing and realising he has to fend for himself. I think you should talk to him about your worries because other wise they are only going to get bigger and eat away at you more. After being in a 3 year relationship you should be able to speak openly and honestly with him. Express your thoughts and opinions. Perhaps you could try and talk to his mother as to why she doesn't like you. From my experiences, when you move in with each other it may take a month for you 2 get around each others little qwirks and ways of doing things. :)
