If a man has been very clingy to him Mum all his life does it have an effect on his behaviour in relationships? Is he good marriage material?? Will he ever grow up?? What is your opinion on this?
Sorry men, I do not wish to offend anyone with this question - I am just genuinely interested?

With your love and encouragement, and the right motivation, he can change. make sure that he has a definate goal to work towards. If he can see that he needs to grow up and become a man, he can do it.
He will be totally worth the wait.

My boyfriend is a mummys boy but i wouldnt say he is clingy with her, he wont eat anything i cook, it has to be made by his mum and he does act a bit like a child sometimes. I have a son from a previous marriage and im trying not to do to much for him because i know now what he will turn out like if i dont stop.Personally i dont think my boyfriend will ever grow up.

I believe there can be two consequences of clinginess:
1 - The boy grows into a gentleman and knows how to treat women just like his mother...with respect and honesty.
2 - The boy grown into a man that always listens to his mother even when married, which is usually the case I've heard from friends and people I know that are in similar situations.

I can guarantee you don't want to get involved. I divorced my first husband because there was another woman in our marriage--his mother. We had to move to her hometown so he could be close to her. He rarely had long conversations with me, but he spent at least 1/2 hour talking on the phone every night with her. She ran our lives, because since she was always right, my husband did what she said. We were at her beck and call--one time she swore she saw a snake in her bedroom and we had to come over at 2:00 in the morning to help, even though she was supposedly a tough woman who prided herself on being stronger than any man. We couldn't go to see my parents on weekends, because she might need us. And soon after we married, my husband informed me that if there was a dispute between the two of us, he would automatically take her side. When I finally realized I deserved better, the further away I drove, the more I literally felt a burden lifting off my shoulders.

They quite simply are no use to man nor beast and i can say that through personal experience. Years ago i went out with a mummy's boy who was in his early 30s and he still lived at home. His mother was so over-protective of him, and he loved it. He behaved so like her too and was very effeminate. It makes me cringe now to think back about it. I gave him the boot though after not too long, as it was so obvious things just would never have worked out. Mummy's boys are just not right.......

I think I'll try to stay away from that breed in the future.
The problem is, they have no self-confidence, no self-esteem, and no idea how to deal with people outside of their mother's sphere of influence. They may be wonderful people but... it means watching every word you say, so that it doesn't offend him; every thing you do that you don't make him feel neglected; and most likely having to support him or manage his finances as well.
My mothering instincts are not all that strong. I want a man I can rely on... not lean for support on me all the time.

I am married to a man like this. He demands all of my attention. I have very little time for myself or even my kids. Men like this will never treat you like a wife, you will always be MOMMY!! He will be very clingy and needy thru out the marriage. B/c you will become his mom. Get out while you can. Trust me.

If it's someone you are beginning to care more and more for...make sure you observe them carefully...his mother also. Ask questions and try and spend time around the two of them. It is my opinion that most mother's boys find it very difficult to break loose from the chord, and their mothers find it hard to let go.
Be very cautious here...you may be getting in way over head.

mummy boys tend not to grow up. They always running home for what mummy ... if you have an arguement with them instead of keeping it personal - they have to bring their mum into it.
