Will she get in the way of your happiness?<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve just started\u00a0dating\u00a0this lovely guy. He\u2019s sweet and attentive, but a few weeks into your\u00a0new relationship, you realize he\u2019s a total Mama\u2019s boy. What does this mean for you? What\u2019s it like dating a Mama\u2019s boy? And what are the future prospects for the three of you in the relationship?<\/p>\n<p>Here are the 5 things you need to know before you start dating a Mama\u2019s boy\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>You Won\u2019t Be The Only Woman In His Life &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>It sounds obvious I know, but it\u2019s something so many women underestimate. A Mama\u2019s boy isn\u2019t just fond of his Mom. He\u2019s crazy about her, and she\u2019s just as nuts about him.<\/p>\n<p>They have an unbreakable bond that goes way above the normal once or twice a week phone call. He is her everything, and she\u2019s devoted her life to making him happy. Don\u2019t think for one moment just because he\u2019s falling in\u00a0love\u00a0with you, he\u2019s falling out of love with his Mom. He\u2019ll never stop loving his Mom, and unless you can cope with sharing his heart, you better end things before you even get started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He Won\u2019t Be Independent &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0The Mama\u2019s boy is used to having everything done for him. His Mom will have done his washing, his cooking, his cleaning, and even his shopping. I know men in their 40\u2019s, who still take their laundry over to their Mom\u2019s house. That\u2019s right\u2026 grown men of 40 years-old that still get Mom to wash their smalls!<\/p>\n<p><strong>He\u2019ll Compare You To Her &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>It doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s the way you make the bed, or the quality of your roast chicken dinner, Mama\u2019s boys have a habit of comparing everything you do to the way his Mom does it for him.<\/p>\n<p>He won\u2019t necessarily mean it in a horrible way, and he probably won\u2019t even realize he\u2019s doing it. But his Mom is the template for the way everything should be done. She\u2019s spent her whole life making him happy and comfortable, and he\u2019ll want you to make him feel the same way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You Won\u2019t Always Come First &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Something you need to get used to is not always being his first priority. You might be going out for a special dinner you\u2019ve been planning and looking forward to for ages, but if his Mom needs him to \u201cgrab a box from the attic\u201d or \u201cto grab her some pain killers from the drug store\u201d he\u2019ll go rushing to her side.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, he\u2019ll be apologetic and promise to make it up to you, but he\u2019ll expect you to understand and be OK with coming second to Mama.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He\u2019ll Treat You Like A Princess &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0I know I\u2019ve made dating a Mama\u2019s boy sound like a pain in the b*tt, but actually, it\u2019s not all bad. One thing about Mama\u2019s boys is they know how to treat women.<\/p>\n<p>Guys who are close to their Moms are normally sweet, sensitive, understanding, and generous. Their close relationship with their Mom might drive you nuts at times, but if you want a man to treat you like a princess then you can\u2019t go far wrong.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So the next time you start\u00a0dating\u00a0a man you realize is a Mama\u2019s boy, you need to ask yourself whether you\u2019re happy to take the backseat occasionally, and whether you can cope with sharing a space in his heart with his Mom.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re the kind of woman who HAS to have her man all to herself, it\u2019s safe to say life with a Mama\u2019s boy isn\u2019t going to be for you!<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0yourtango.com<\/p>\n<p>=&#8221;left&#8221;&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He\u2019s the perfect guy,but he\u2019s extremely close to his Mom.
