The motherson bond can be overbearing from "summary" of When He's Married to Mom by Kenneth M. Adams
The mother-son bond is a powerful force that can shape a man's life in profound ways. When this bond becomes overbearing, it can lead to dysfunction and conflict in his adult relationships. This dynamic can be particularly challenging when a man is married to a woman who feels like she is in competition with his mother for his love and attention. In these situations, the man may feel torn between his loyalty to his mother and his commitment to his wife. He may struggle to set boundaries with his mother, leading to tension and conflict in his marriage. His wife may feel neglected and unimportant, wondering why she can never seem to measure up to his mother in his eyes. This dynamic can be especially damaging when the mother is overly involved in her son's life, making decisions for him and exerting control over his choices. This can create a sense of enmeshment that is difficult to break free from, leaving the man feeling trapped between the two most important women in his life. In order to navigate this complex dynamic, it is important for the man to assert his independence and establish healthy boundaries with his mother. This may require difficult conversations and a willingness to prioritize his marriage over his relationship with his mother. It may also require the support of a therapist or counselor to help him untangle the web of emotions and expectations that are at play.- Breaking free from the overbearing mother-son bond is essential for the man to have a healthy and fulfilling relationship with his wife. It may be a challenging journey, but with determination and support, he can create a more balanced and harmonious dynamic that allows both his marriage and his relationship with his mother to thrive.
