Why Men Marry Their Mothers

This will not be my most popular article.  Or, maybe it will be.

During my life as a Mystic, I have made a numerous amount of observations about humanity, only enhanced by the company I keep. This is one of the most confounding I have ever witnessed.

I knew a man when he was twenty years old.  He hadn’t moved out of his mother’s house yet.  We parted ways.  I saw him again when he was 25.  He was still living with his mother.

I saw him again when he was in his early thirties.  I asked him where he was living now.

“I live at home,” he said.

“Of course, you live at home,” I said, laughingly. “Everybody lives at home.“

I thought he was being sarcastic, so I winked at him, playing along with the joke.  He wasn’t joking.   He was still living with his mother.  And, to this day, I imagine he still lives there.

Men aren’t moving out.  And, in my opinion, it is because they are being encouraged to remain.  Their mothers aren’t letting them leave, for various reasons.  And, after many conversations with both men and women on this subject, here are some of the reasons:

• Men see little reason to get a job, if they don’t have to pay rent.
• If these men do have a job, they can purchase sports cars, and various other luxury items, because they have no debt.
• Men can have a sex-free relationship with a woman, and still get one home-cooked meal a day.  And, if they’re lucky, their laundry is always done.
• Mothers can have a sex-free relationship with a man, and still have companionship.
• Men can date other women, and never worry that his mother will be jealous.  He can spend the night with whomever he pleases, and always be welcomed back the next morning.
• Mothers, whose relationship with their husbands have dissolved, still have a man around the house to do home repairs.
• Men don’t have to marry and relinquish their independence, nor be burdened by children.
• Any inheritance that would have been shared with a daughter in-law, can now be shared by the mother, and son.
• If the man has already married, and divorced, he can live with his mother and reserve his financial resources.
• Mothers can remain in their homes, without the financial concerns of caregivers, housekeepers, cooks, and nurses.
• Men can care for their mothers until death, and gain financial security by simply taking over the home after her demise.

A word of warning:  If you are a woman dating a man who is living with his mother, there is a better than average chance that he will never marry. But, if he does marry, you can be almost certain that his wife and he, and his mother, will all live happily ever after…
