Balancing Bonds: Tackling the Challenge When Your Husband Chooses His Mother’s Words Over Yours

Feeling like your husband listens to his mother more than you can be incredibly frustrating and emotionally draining. Often, this feeling stems from a deeper sense of not being valued or heard in the relationship. You may feel sidelined, as though your thoughts, emotions, and opinions don't matter as much as his mother’s. This can lead to resentment, frustration, and even self-doubt. Many women experience this when their husbands are deeply connected to their mothers and rely heavily on their influence. Cultural factors, family upbringing, or a strong bond between mother and son can intensify this dynamic. It may seem like you're in constant competition with his mother for his attention, respect, or priority.
