My husband is more concerned with being a good son than a good husband. What do I do?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "My husband and I have only been married for 6 months. In order to save money to buy a house of our own, we decided to live with his parents for a while. It seemed like a good idea in the beginning but now it is causing a lot of tension. I feel like my husband cares more about being a good son to his mom than a good husband to me. His mother tells me all the time that she hopes we never move out and that it would kill her for her son to leave. I feel like I am stuck, what should I do?"

    husband cannot connect properly to wife till his mother exists geographically with them. When wife has disconnected from parents geographically from the time of marriage till date, why can't husband do the same?

    My fiancé's Mother is very manipulative and spiteful. My fiancé's brother & His wife has been living with their Mother to help her out with bills because she made poor financial decisions. Long story short they are tired of living with her, bought a house and will be moving out and starting a family. Well now that his Mother knows she will no longer be able to collect their Money she has been trying to bully us into moving with her so we can help her pay her bills. Now why in the world would we do something like that when we have a house of our own, and will be married. We are a young couple and need our privacy. His Mother is acting as if her son is her boyfriend. I made it clear that I will not be moving in with her.

    Dealing with the Same thing but my mother in law is taking money from my husband every month which takes money out of my home. She has a grandson that lives with her that works and three other siblings but he is the only one for years that she has leaned on and when she doesn’t get her way she whines and makes him feel bad and he gives her money. He makes excuses for the other siblings not helping. But has no problem talking about my siblings. She didn’t spend her money right and now wants my husband to make up the difference. He is not speaking to me right now because I gave my honest opinion.

    Sorry youre going thru that. Im getting married and my big fear is my husband continuing to put his families wants before mine. I looked this up to see if i was the only woman that felt this way glad to see i am not because he called me selfish. Im home alone most times because hes a truck driver id like to be able to talk to him at least but everytime they call he jumps and then i have to wait until i get a call back. Its not enough his family gets to be with their partners everyday but im the one being selfish and immature smh. When we were planning our wedding he continued to tell me what wedding his family wanted. Hes changed that now but it was still off putting

    @@naturelover2292 Every month my boyfriend pays all the bills to his parents (for each of their three properties). As we live alone and we still don't own a property, this is a real nightmare for me - I have to save every penny because I can't count on him for buying our own apartment. Also, they keep him stuck with a stupid story that he will inherit all of their properties once they are gone (maybe in 30 years). If that's not emotional blackmail, I don't know what is...

    My husband carries a great deal of guilt because he had been a drug addict, stole from his parents, insulted them, etc. he went to prison and because I love him I stood by him unconditionally, visiting him every weekend while he was locked up. They didn’t even try to write to him in the two 1/2 years he served his sentence. He has stayed clean and now they are all lovey to him. This guilt has put me on the back burner. I’m no longer good enough. I can’t have children but mommy tells him she wants “lots of grand babies”. And no, not adopted ones.
