Being a mama's boy is not easy. Your mother will do everything for you and expect you to confide in her and even tell her who you're dating. Most mama's boys end up staying at home for the rest of their lives because they are afraid of change. Some even marry and stay with their mothers and wives under the same roof.

Well, there's this woman who is in love with a man a year younger than her but her boyfriend's parents especially his mother are on his neck. She is monitoring every move he makes and demands accountability for every single cent he spends.

"I’m 49 and recently divorced after a 21-year marriage. I’ve become involved with a 48-year-man whom I adore and have fallen in love with. We’re amazing together and this is the most fun I have ever had with a man. I was separated for two years before my divorce, during which time I dated different men but never clicked with any of them — not like I do with this one. He lives an hour away and we have been spending every weekend with each other for the last five months and it’s been great. We have even talked about getting married! He also was married for 16 years and has been divorced eight years now.

The thing is, he recently had a job transfer and moved back into his parents’ house, which is two hours away. He’s been trying to get back on his feet and establish himself there because the money is good, but his parents are a little controlling. I know they mean well, but… His dad is very stern, and they want him to take a condo they own where the rent is very expensive and I don’t think he can make it on his own. They complain about him coming to see me on the weekends — they say it’s too expensive and too much wear and tear on his truck. So now he comes every other weekend. His mother takes his paycheck and is watching his spending.

Let me say that before he took this job his paychecks were slim, but he paid his bills and made it just fine. And I’m not a material girl — in fact, I don’t like him spending his money on me. We have had great times without spending money.

I haven’t gotten to meet the parents yet because he doesn’t want me to spend the gas money to come up just for the day. We’re both in love and serious about each other, and he’s told his parents this. But his dad says he needs a nest before he brings a woman home. I know he’s trying to find a place and that he’ll probably take his parents’ condo, but in the meantime he wants me to be strong and wait. I have no problem with that, but I’m seeing a difference in him.

I’m a very independent woman and very laid back; I enjoy life, but I’m confused about this man I’ve fallen for."
