Aqua man still a momma's boy

Ay, caramba, well long story short we were high school sweethearts, went our separate ways and all of a sudden bang there he is again, I'm a single mum with a a toddler so dating is kinda hard, one of the main reasons why we departed in high school was his mother, I potentially saw her as the "in-law" from hell, and not much has changed.

I don't know whether its worth the hassel really, the mother thing with him is actually over the top, do all Aqua men cling to their mothers like this?

He's a really nice guy, great personality, just the apron strings havent been cut and he's in his late 30's. I don't want to be involved with a 3 way, that is just creepy.

We talkin' along the lines of Oedipus, controlling mother hen or just a regular loves his momma cuz she's awesome type? And FYI I talk to momma bear almost every other day.

OMG, my ex husband was a Momma's boy and still is and he is 46 lol...Run!!!

You will never compete with her.

It destroyed our marriage.

No, it's NOT an Aqua thing. It's probably moreso HIS thing. If anything, Aquas are VERY good at & well prepared to tell someone to mind their business & know their place.

It's NOT worth the hassle. You will always lose that battle. It will be a never-ending battle until HE is ready to establish some boundaries & effectively put those boundaries into place. You can't be a man for him nor can you make him somehow "See the light" if he's not ready to. Sucks but hey, it happens every day.

There is nothing worse than knowing that a 3rd party (family or not) has control and/or too much influence in a relationship that they didn't help create. There is nothing worse than knowing that you're damned if you do & damned if you don't in your relationship all b/c of a 3rd party.

Plus, it's also NOT worth it to have it on your conscious that a man & his mother are on bad terms all b/c of you. Of course logically it's probably NOT your fault, BUT if the outcome is division within his family, then it's never worth it.

Eventually most men end up realizing too that the fight was never-ending. Problem is, by the time most of them realize it they've lost/pushed away all the "right" ones. Either way, you can force someone to see things in a certain way if they literally refuse to. It's not worth the hassle honey. If you're considering to go back to him, all power to you, BUT you can't go back to the SAME set of circumstances & yet expect a DIFFERENT outcome; doesn't work like that. Something's gotta change & unless he changes/tweaks what the problem is (cough: mama's boy) then don't expect different results
