Move On Or Stay?
Hey Nancy,
Whether or not you choose to stay or move on is up to you. If you love him and want to try and fix this, then by all means do. Luckily for me, after countless times of pointing out to my husband that his mother-son relationship was NOT normal, he has seen the light. Although it took two years of constant nagging on my part. In the end however, it is worth it because he is an amazing man. To this day we still have to deal with the intrusive antics of his mother, but atleast HE recognizes she is not normal. She has done so many things to him, tried butting into our lives, and worst of all, acts like she should be the woman of his life. In a way I feel sad for her, because I think she has some serious mental problems. Don`t get me wrong though, I don`t feel bad enough to befriend her. I just deal with her for my husbands sake. Although, she is treading on such thin ice with him that I feel it won`t take much more of her unkind, overbearing ways to push him away for good. Know that only you can figure out if this is worth it. It is hard because not all people out there can understand how emotionally stressfull a mother-in-law like these women can be. Just be true to yourself, to him and then go from there. If you ever have questions on how to approach the subject with him, you can ask me. Not that you had intended this, but as of right now, since you are just a fiance, I wouldn`t recommend talking with her--let him do that. It will be a learning experience.
Take Care
