Mama's Boys- How Do They Impact Your Relationship?

Women always like hearing a potential mate speak about his mother in a caring and respectful manner. In fact, men who have a good relationship with their mothers tend to be more understanding and respectful toward women, and ladies know that.

But a man who talks a little too much about his mother will raise a "mama's boy" flag in any woman's mind. It's not hard to understand why women don't like mama's boys.

The thing is, mama's boys often fulfill their mother's every wish, especially the most unreasonable ones — and that's where the problems start.

If a man lives out his mother's every wish, chances are that he will not make decisions with his significant other without his mother's approval. It's hard enough to share decisions as a couple, so it is rare that a woman will tolerate a third person interfering in her relationship with her man. When a girl is 12 years old and her boyfriend can't go out because his mother doesn't approve, it's OK because he's still a child. When that boy becomes a man and his mother still rules his life, however, most women aren't that understanding.
