How often does your husband talk to his mother?

Question

Daily, weekly, and does it ever annoy you?

OR

For the husbands; how often do you talk to your mother? Does it annoy your wife?

Answer 1

Not very often, I definitely talk to my mother much more often than he talks to his.  His family is kind of strange though and he could go months without talking to her, not being hateful, they just don't have that relationship.  I also think she is very strange because he is in the Navy and when he is deployed for Christmas it is almost like he does not exist because they don't contact him or send him anything.  They are a very detached family.  My parents have taken him in like a son though, but to my in-laws I will always just be the wife.  

Sorry - got a little off subject there.  And the only thing that annoys me when he does talk to her is that they speak in Spanish (they are all Puerto Rican) and I do not know Spanish.

Answer 2

when she was alive we'd take her to our house for supper and visit for once a week on thursday. we enjoyed it.

Answer 3

He doesn't talk to his mother at all. She decided to go into a mental jealous rage over our relationship. Her behavior continued to get worse. My fiance had no choice but to put his foot down and cut her out of our lives. We haven't seen or talked to her in over two years.

Answer 4

Mine talks to his mom weekly, usually. If he feels like he needs to touch base with her more often (like she's not been feeling well or something) then he calls her more often. I wouldn't care if he talked to her 10 times a day. She's his mom. I would never be annoyed by his talking to her, regardless of how often it was. I think anyone who is annoyed by their spouse talking to a parent is probably suffering from some pretty low self esteem and jealousy issues.

Answer 5

I talk to my mother once a week, to catch up on family happenings and to see if she needs anything. She is a widow and elderly. I call her to see if she is feeling okay, find out how her doctors visits were. She is not intrusive about my family life.

My wife does not mind, actually she is the one that always reminds me to call. They are very close and she even told me that she loves my mother more than her own biological mother.

When my wife talks to her mother, it is usually her mother calling for something or to gossip about one of her own children. She has a tendency to vet her own children against each other and who she is not doing that she is telling my wife that she is behind on her bills and needs money.

I get annoyed because my wife is usually upset or crying after their dam conversations. And her mother never makes any inquiry about me because she hates my guts.  

Answer 6

My husband talks to his mother on the phone usually once or twice a week for like five minutes each time. It's fine with me. I wish he would talk to her a little more!

Answer 7

everyday or every other day. it doesnt bother me. his dad died a year and a half ago, so he keeps an eye (ear) on her.

Answer 8

not that much maybe once a month or every other month because she live in another country and that she doesn't speak english too well. So mostly she talk to my husband

my in-law will talk to my husband mostly and i just say hi and how are you?  

Answer 9

My mother in law is 87 years old and lives alone. My husband has been going to see his mother every single day since January of 2006 when his father died. I used to get angry that he spent so much time with her but now that she needs care 24/7 and I am involved, I can see what he has been going through with her and sympathize.

Answer 10

men tend to value their mothers over their wives... sad but true. however, as long as they're not talking trash about you then it should be ok. I don't think you should be worried about the frequency of the calls as much as the length. it's ok if he calls everyday... as long as it's not everyday for an extended period of time that takes away from your time with your husband. if this is the case, maybe you could suggest he talk to her when your busy with something else so that his phone calls don't take away from your time together.
