Anyone else feel like you''re competing with your FMIL over your SO? My SO is very much a "mama''s boy". He lives at home and probably will until he finishes his master''s degree. She''s a wonderful cook and dotes on him all the time, making him breakfast every morning, cleaning his room, etc. How am I supposed to compete with that?? How in the world am I gonna convince him that moving in with me instead is so great? Even after we get married, move in together, etc., I am terrified of an Everybody Loves Raymond situation where the parents live next door - literally!
He says (jokingly, I hope) that this would be great... "She could always come over to cook for us!"
I''m an independent girl (and would like to think that I can cook and clean well enough on my own, darnit) and this would really bother me. Would this bother anyone else?
