Another thing on this,
My ex's mom was a control freak- she had to do everything because it was her way or no way. This led to me being told, by him, that I didn't fold laundry correctly or make the bed right or hang the towels correctly- all because it wasn't how she did it.
We then moved to Albuquerque and lived with them for a little bit(this was also the last part of our relationship, and when I truly realized how much of a mamma's boy he was at the age of 33 I broke it off). Anyways, when we lived there, she would do his/our laundry, complain about me not doing the dishes correctly or not cooking correctly(and let me tell you, she cooks with crisco, margerine, tons of corn starch,etc. all things I don't use or eat).
Anyways, not only did it affect him growing up it affected me- so what I am saying is, if he learns to be dependant now he might have a better chance with relationships in the future with girls.
