My partner is a mummy’s boy and honestly it’s so hard maintaining the relationship. Do they ever change? If so how?

Does he see it as a problem? Mummy’s boy suggests that both are happy with the situation and it’s not one of them controlling the other.

Define “mummy’s boy”, please.

No he doesn’t but it’s really toxic. Like when we had our third she came over from her country and after she left hubby changed. He wouldn’t change any of the kids nappies or feed them and had this attitude of if I earn then you need to do the housework.

And you are with him at all because…..

I would cut your losses now as these types do not change.

Now, you’ve had three children with this man and your asking if he’s going to change ?
