OMG I know what it is to date a mama's boy, I do agree that when a son loves and respects his mother that is a beautiful thing BUT one thing is to love her and the other thing is to call her every 5 minutes, to call her while we are out on a date, or during dinner, or to say I feel so bad my mom is not feeling well, yet when I'm sick he doesnt even care.... u see when we pass that line of being normal, then it becomes a problem in a relationship, I know this is sad but I wonder what happens to a mama's boy when his mom dies, does he get better or worst ? This I always wonder, and not that I want her to die... I just wonder for my future plans. Let me know people ?

I read your piece on is your man a mamas boy. Yes he is! I love it! I have been married before and that wasn't part of their make-up at all. I was raised in a family of eight children. My brothers are awesome husbands to my sister-in-laws, I think that is because they adored our mother! Respect was taught. If a man desn't respect and love his mother there is a true problem. Family values, love and respect are so important. Love a man that loves his mother!! I said that when I met my husband. I loved and do love how he speaks, treats and looks after his mother.

ok..first i wont 2 say hi tyra & hopfully you read this email!lol:) well i was watching your show about the sexting with teens & i could not belive the bold and discusting thigs i that was infecting the song waves!i was a beautiful teen in high school but i was unawer that i had so much beauty because growing up it was all about grades and maintaning a great gpa.so i didnt care if i was preety enough 4 all the georgius guy that was there,although i feel in love with this guy that had no clue who i was.but when he did all he wonted was sex!i wasnt ready so i left him & thought that the 1 guy that loves me 4 who i was & not 4 my looks would come along,well he did and we tlk 4 5min.& that became 5 years with out sex!all i wont to say to you is thank you 4 veiwing that show so young girls can c how stupid & nasty those 15 year old girls sounded so they can grow to be indapendent,intrlagent,beautiful women!THANK YOU TYRA!!!!!!!!!

Yea sometimes if a guy is his mothers "baby"son he tends to be a mamas boy especially if his father was nt around its ok sometimes but its annoying because you feel like its a constant competition,I find it most annoying when his mother has little of no respect for you and its find with him.

There are alot of different men out there but when i see a man taking his mamas side all the time i dont think that is right??? Do you think so Tyra??

Dear Tyra, ever since my sister=in=law had her baby about 5 months ago my husband's mother stop contacting him, it's like her life revolves around this kid, yet my husband go behind my back and send money for this woman. He doesn't even consult with me first before he withdraw this money. Why can't he see that she is so one sided and only cares for her daughter. We are having endless fights over this ungratefulness. I really feel like divorcing him and let him go to his mama. Please reply me. ThankYou Tyra

I am engaged to the son of a manipulative mother who is still trying to break us up! It's been over two years and she's been banned from my home because of her disrespect. My problem- whenever he has contact with her he turns against me and treats me with major disrespect in a transparent attempt to please her. Last night he shouted at me, "Shut up!" I love the guy but I can't see committing to a life of being treated badly after each and every time she has contact with him. He won't stand up to her- instead he takes out his family of origin issues on me. I'm in counseling and my counselor said that from now on- he can go meet her when she comes into town unannounced, demanding to come over. So we tried this yesterday. Unfortunately, he still reverted to the emotional maturity of a teenager and slept on the couch. Standard pattern- he treats me like an enemy whenever she has contact with him. Beyond trying to please his 'Mommy Dearest,' and taking out his frustration with himself onto me- why is he repeating this negative pattern? I am again looking at this major red flag and reconsidering marrying him because he allows such a maladaptive manipulative control over him by her. OH, and after she visits with him he now reverts to hiding in a bedroom with the door locked to avoid any contact with me. Two relatives she visited, uninvited, last month each ended up in the hospital from the stress of her visit. She's that toxic. Does he see it? Of course not. What can I do? I can't marry a man who becomes hostile towards me whenever his Mommy has contact with him. Stuck in a holding pattern here.

Hi Tyra, I'm really glad you did the show on mama's boys, my boyfriend is a mama's not & I totally understand what the other women were going through on the show. I love my boyfriend & want to marry him someday but I'm afraid it's never going to happen b/c his mama won't let him go, he's almost 29 years old & she still treats him like he's 2. I've tried talking to him about it but it doesn't get me anywhere. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Evidently the person who said stay with your men has never dealt with that situation. There is no room for the two women, just the mothers, that was obvious, even though they said they loved the girlfriends. Words are one thing, actions are another. Actions speak louder, and they spoke volumes.

I married a mama's boy, so I was very upset when I watched the show, only because I understood their feelings. I was married for more years than I want to say, but I have some very wonderful children, and grandchildren. I am now divorced and the childrens father and I are friendly because of the children, but they don't respect him and he is basically alone. His mother is deceased and he finally realized I was not to blame for all his faults, and that she came between us. I would like to tell the women to leave the guys because they won't change. For years I thought he would change, and I didn't try to change him, I did things for the family that I thought families should do together, but he always wanted his mother along, and she was a very devious person. This statement came from a relative of hers. She tried breaking us up all the time, she suceeded, but I realized I'm better off.

hi trya mama boys especially jerry mom was awful that women need to let that guy grow up these woman have a past and are reliving it into these girls life you would not like if it was your daughters life these mothers need to grow up thats why you girls dont have a husband remember you have to answer to god for everything you do on earth you are taking away some one happiness

This is for Sophia, leave that loser in the dust. You don't need that little boy in your life or his annoying overbearing mother. I have dealt with this situation for over 9 years I have never gotten along with his overbearing mother and the family overall things are a little bit better now but there are still things that happen here and there that annoy me but my advice to any female, do not get involved with a mama's boy or any family that is too intrusive especially if your partner can't stand up for you and give your place and respect. There are too many guys out there for you to settle for this. It's all about boundaries and respect and when there is none of either is when the problems start

Hey! I deff think that there are different types. I'm a mammas boy and I call her everyday. But at the same time I go to work and take care of my pregnant gf who I love more then anything.the gf and I live in a apt in s. Mpls but our least is up this month so were going to move Back into my parents house. Nd I don't think that its a big deal to be a mammas boy at all. We only have one mom some two. And I'm going to show my mom everyday how much I love her n care for her. For everything she has done fit me. Its the lrasti can do.I LOVE YOU MOM! Your baby boy Adam thanks for bringing me into this wonderful world
