There are probably books on the topic in the self-help/psychology section of your local bookstore, but why waste the money? The answer is simple: if your husband can't put you and your marriage before his mother, you need some serious counseling. you know, I totally love my mom and we hang out a lot and everything, but now that I'm grown up and in a relationship, that relationship has to come first!! Your husband should know that too, and so should his mom. Shame on her for allowing her son to be such a mama's boy and ignore his wife's best interests. Your first step is to try to have a sit-down conversation about it with your husband. If he resists, an ultimatum may be in order: either he prioritizes you first, or you're separating. Just don't try to get him to stop seeing his mom altogether, because that would never work, especially if they're so close, as they apparently are.

Tough question without any clear cut answers. I hope you have (or least like) a warm relationship and respect his mom--hopefully this will make the situation a little easier to live me. I don't think it would be feasible or realistic for any type of ultimatum--he can love you and he can love his mother--but it is two separate types of love. Advice is hard to give without examples of "how you" are trying to win your husband back. Good luck.

You can't. Mothers hold a place in their son's hearts that is indelible. However, you can make peace with her. You have something in common: you both love the same man and much of who he is is because of her. Honor her, but be firm in your boundries with your man. Whatever you do, don't bad mouth or belittle her to him in any way (even if he does it first)- he'll choose her over you in the end if you insist that he choose.

Just go and get him cause mom don't want him there, it is your husband choice.The first and best thing to do is pray for him and reconcile any differences and rework the marriage. There are lots of books on the market for marriage problems or one can go to their local church for counseling.

Oh. This one is simple, a few drops of cyanide in her coffee. LOL no but really, tell him that if he loves his mother so much that you feel like you have to fight for his attention then maybe he should move out and marry his mother.

Stop giving him any! Don't clean the house until he pays attention to you for a week! Sleep in the living room or a different room than him!

You serious? Grab him by the balls and cock and tell him what he's going to do.
Or maybe I just go out with the wrong kind of women.

Don't play that game. You'll never win. Get yourself a real man.
