1.the proof? basically every other word out of his mouth is about his mom
2.I even overheard him telling someone he can sleep (not sure if he meant sexually) with her
3.he's constantly coddling her, feeding her, all that stuff
it's just... the dude is obsessed. one time he showed up with some girl and his mom straight up spat on her... yeah, I'm saying it, the guy definitely has an Oedipal complex
It’s definitely possible, and honestly, it isn't normal.
I feel so bad for whatever woman ends up with him—imagine having to marry someone like that. Man, I couldn't deal.😲
An old friend of mine actually seemed to go through the exact same thing.
He got married, but he was always calling his mom, and he was constantly fighting with his wife.
Everything stayed like that until his mother passed away.
Before then, he barely even noticed his wife existed, and they were always at each other's throats.
His mom was always standing right there between the two of them.
Now everything is fine, and my friend says he and his wife finally get along—they actually talk more and aren't so closed off anymore.
I’m happy for him, though—at least he doesn't have to listen to them fighting all the time.
