Do you think men respect their mothers more than their partners?

[Iwouldliketostopfeelingsicknow]

I've been having some issues with my 'D'P currently and it's just dawned on me that his mother will always be more respected than me.

I was wondering if this was just an issue with my OH (Who is 28 btw) but my friends seem to have the same issue. Plus my brother has always been a mummies boy.

Is this the same experience you have had?

Incidentally I get on better with my MIL than I do my own mum so i'd never create a me vs her situation, I was just curious.

Idk, my dh is very respectful of his mum, sisters, daughters and me. All women really. My ex didn't have much time for his mum, or any women. I know there are many exceptions, but I always thought there was something in the old adage of; if he treats his mum with respect, then he respects women.

Sorry op, just realised your oh is 28, I would imagine his mum is still quite central in his life if he lived with her recently? My ds is 26 and I become less important each year since he left home, which is fine and how it should be, and hopefully how your oh will be.

Depends on the man, the mother and the partner, I think.

My son should respect his partner at least as much as he respects me, and probably more.

And I have high standards in this regard.

In my experience, no.
My DH has very little time for his mother, if it wasn't for me I don't think he'd really have any contact with her.
My brother's are no contact with our mum, but then I am too.

I'll always be there for my DS but I would expect him to put his partner and own family before us and have the same if not more respect for them.

There is two brothers I know that are very much mummy's boys, they are rapidly approaching 40 and don't have proper relationships or families of their own. They have almost too much respect for their mother.

Well once me and DH had a blazing row about his brother (and about MIL) - we live with them at DHs insistence because the house is rather large. Due to the tensions I begged him to move us and the Dc out - he refused. Saying he wants to look after his folks as is custom in our culture. Anyway, it dawned on me during this row that DH is a mummy’s boy. He will never ever do what’s best for me and the kids over his mothers feelings.
