Thank you kindly for your response Open Eyes! And to everyone else. It was all insightful. I suppose I will just have to spend some more time around his mother and family to feel out the dynamics a little more. I actually was not terribly concerned until my own family made a comment about how they thought it was unhealthy. Then of course I took a few steps back and second guessed myself, because it was something I had not even noticed before. To me, he was just a caregiver. To them, he had an unhealthy attachment style. But as time rolled forward... I began to kind of take notice to what they were talking about. I felt that his Mom was being a little overbearing and I personally don't deal well with control! My mind immediately shot forward towards the future and I became worried she might try to crack down control over me someday. Especially if we get married, have children, etc. Hence the whole reason for this post! I wanted some outside views. Because when you're emotionally involved you can't always see the forest from the trees.
