5 Signs That She Will Be Too Much Like Your Mother
Written by Bellaisa Filippis
Most men don't want to date their mother, but surprisingly a lot of men get into a relationship only to find that their woman is trying to play the role of their mother in everyday life. Creepy? Yes. But many women take on this role automatically in life and find it very hard to change the way they treat you because it is who they are.
So if you would rather avoid dating someone who treats you like their kid and find a woman who treats you like a man then watch out for these tell-tale signs that she will be too much like your mother.
1. She Focuses on Other People's Problems More Than Her Own
She tends to baby other people and spend too much time trying to work through their problems instead of her own. If she were a little more attentive to her own problems then she would be a good partner who could give and take in the relationship. You may get tired of her giving and not being needed by you - ever.
2. She Does Everything for Everyone
Instead of making someone do something for themselves she runs out and does it for them. This attitude from her will allow you to have your life served to you on a platter, but it will make you a weaker and less independent man in the end. And if you ever lose her you may start to expect all women to have this behavior which will probably result in you being single for quite a while!
If that's not a good enough excuse then remember this: She may also become resentful later on in the relationship. She will start wondering why you do nothing for her, even though you were never really given the opportunity to do something for her! Her resentment may build up into an irrational anger and many unnecessary problems in your relationship. I call this senior victim mentality. They spent their whole lives trying to please others and forgot about themselves, so they quickly become the victim in life and unbearable to be around.
3. She Always Offers Advice But Never Takes It!
You may be getting a lot of advice throughout your relationship that you don't necessarily want, and when you try to tell her that she gives you too much advice she may not listen to you. This is a sign of seeing you as needing her help, always, and her not needing help at all. This can get very annoying very quickly and can cause a lot of tension in your life because she will always feel she is right
4. She Tries To Change You
Mothers always think they know what your best self would be and they are constantly trying to make you into that man. If she tries to make you into someone you are not then you will start to harbor a lot of resentment towards her, and you may never live up to the man she wants you to be.
5. She is Very Critical of You
This can make you feel like everything you do in life is wrong. She will think she is helping you in some way by pointing out all of your faults and mistakes, but in reality she will just be driving you mad!
Listen, if she exhibits one of these 5 signs, and you don't want to date your mother then run. I know many older men who are sad and pathetic and can barely tie their own shoelaces because they are essentially married to their mother. Neither of them is happy in the relationship and it's a sad thing to watch.
If you really like her then let her know that she needs to get rid of her motherly attitude and that you won't date her until she does. This will let her work on herself and become a better relationship partner for you in the end. If she's not willing to work on herself though then you can bet she is not going to change any time soon.
