Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

They talk once a week, sometimes less. We call them more than they call us. We both talk to them when they call. They're close but my DH isn't a phone person.

I talk to my Mom a lot (sometimes everyday, sometimes once a week depending on our schedules), but its usually during the day so my DH isn't always aware of it, but he assumes we talk everyday.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

DH talks to his mom at least once a week and he stops by their house at least once every other week, usually once a week. I talk to at least one of my parents everyday.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

usually about 1x-2x a week, sometimes more and sometimes less. she IM him sometimes too (and forwards him lots of junk mail!)

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

My DH talks to his mother maybe once a week if that. His family is not very social. I am the bad one i call my parents a least once a day. I can't help it. My family has been through a LOT over the last 6 years and i get nervous if i don't hear from them. Plus my parents and i and DH are very close.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

probably once a week, not that close of a relationship.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

im lucky if i can get him to call her 1 a month he really isnt that close to her

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

On the phone hardly ever, not sure about on IM though (we live in different states).

I know for sure I talk to her more, almost everyday online.

I want us to all be a close family so it wouldn't bother me if he talked to her often. She isn't the type to interfere.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

hardly ever. he never calls her and if she calls, he wont even answer. i have to force him to call her back. he isnt at all close with his mother.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

Not enough for her liking. She started giving ME a guilt trip the other day about how she doesn't like to call him anymore b/c he's always so busy, running around, etc....He talks to her at least once a week.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

Every single day since college. Sometimes twice a day. LOL! And we see her once a week.

I'll be honest. In the beginning, it DID bother me somewhat because I felt like I was not number one priority and in his eyes mom can do no wrong.

But I've come to realize that he is right about her. She's really nice and caring, not like those pushy MIL's. She's trying so hard to allow me to the the true wife, ehichis an opporunity I really wanted. If she had it her way, I'd be calling her everyday too. She's just very lonely and her sons were her life. I just can't change it so I have to accept it.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

He talks to his mom pretty much once a day. It doesn't bother me at all. They actually live 5 minutes from us but we probably only see them once a week.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

Once or twice a week. But, she lives 3,000 miles away.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

everyday she lives around the corner from us.

If a lot, does it bother you? or are you happy they have such a close relationship?

---

In all honesty...NEVER...and yes, that bothers me . I always tell him, talk to your parents, he acts like it is a sin. I wish, he had a closer relationship.

every day. She drives us crazy. She will call and Call and CALL until one of us answers the phone...

hmm do we have the same MIL?

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

she calls everyday, but he only calls her if he needs something. it doesn't really bother me, he's the only child so he's everything to her. i think the reason he treats me so well is because he's so close with his mom. i really like his mom, too. if i didn't like her, i can guarantee their closeness would bother me.

also, she lives 3,000 miles away so i only see her 2x per year!

Thanks everyone. My husband calls his mom almost everyday. I find it kind of annoying..Is it ok to feel this way??
and if he doesn't, I know that she would get upset or feel like I am taking him away from her..

I think I feel this way because there were many times that she has interfered in our relationship and made him feel guilty enough about a situation where he defends her and forgets about my feelings/opinion..

I was just curious to what everyone elses situation was like.

PS. he's an only child..

Thanks.

I know what you mean. DH talks to his mom almost everyday and stops in 3-4x a week. It can be annoying.

Re: How often does your Husband talk to his mother?

Thanks Girls. I really appreciate all of the feedback.

I can definitely relate to some of you. I have a very civil/respectful relationship with my MIL and really appreciate that. I also agree that he treats me well because of the way he treats his mom. I see things he does for his mom that he does for me, which I love.

But, my MIL sometimes tends to get a little too involved/pushy in decisions that should be made between me and him and by him speaking to her everyday just adds more fuel to the fire sometimes. She doesn't realize that this causes tension between us. DH and I had a long talk this weekend and he knows how I feel about this. By all means, I luv that they get along. I just want him/her to respect the fact that some issues need to be resolved between me and him and not by me, him, and his mother.
