What is something important that you learned from an ex?

@DearAmbellina2113 That's gross

@DearAmbellina2113
And there are mothers/parents who don’t know when to stop meddling with their kids’ lives and relationships.

@CookieCrumbs yesss

@JimboSaturn I mean not that they had an inappropriate physical relationship or anything, it's just that they are EMOTIONALLY married to their mothers- they talk with HER before making household decisions (instead of talking with their gf/wife who they actually share a home with), they drop everything to be there for their mom (when they don't do the same for their gf/wife), they can't bother to buy you flowers for Valentine's Day but they ALWAYS have flowers ready on Mother's Day or her birthday or whatever, etc.

It's pointless to try to build a life with someone like that. They're still a little boy.

@DearAmbellina2113 Yes I understood, I just think that is gross as well. I man should not defer to his mother all the time. Momma's boys are gross.

@DearAmbellina2113
When I was younger and dating, I figured out early on to avoid these kinds of men. It just wouldn’t work.

I find myself too independent and self reliant , even from my parents. Plus I was raised in that environment where i was encouraged to choose my path and be decisive about my life.
I thought to myself, how could I have a relationship with someone who has to ask his parents’ approval for everything?

@CookieCrumbs same!!! I have been independent since day 1 (mostly because of parental neglect), so that's how I still live my life. Can't be with someone too dependent on their family.
