Love

If a man says he loves his mother more than his girlfriend; is that bad thing?  What would you do in that situation?  This is a man is a that says he loves his girlfriend with his whole heart, but loves his mother more.  Just want some thoughts.

Well as has been said, it is a pretty immature thing to say, but if it's a girlfriend who hasn't been in his life that long then it would be understandably true.

However as has also been said, the love for a mother and a girlfriend/wife are two different things and aren't really comparable.

My main worry would be what the connotations of that statement were - I'd be concerned that the man was trying to tell me not to get in too deep or something similar...

No it's actually my cousin we were talking about men and my loneliness and she said if it makes u feel better my bf said he loves his mom more than me I thought I would ask on her behalf. Oh one more thing is it normal to have explicit dreams about my ex for the past 2 nights I have been it scares me . Im starting to worry about him and I miss him

Agree with the above.  I actually will be blunt here----------  a person that throws around things like they love their mother more than their girlfriend is childish.  That is an immature conversation to be having.  Everyone loves their mother, everyone should love their girlfriend.  As noted here---------- they are different kinds of love and it is like comparing apples to oranges.

I love my kids.  I love my husband.  Um . . . we've never once had a conversation about which I love more.  Why would we?  

By the way, are we still talking about the man that has a girlfriend that flirts around with you?  Just curious.  Remember, lonliness does not make a bad man good!!  Peace.

Two things need to be noted here. Yea a man should and will love his mother with his whole heart. She brought him into this world and raised and nurtured him, guided him thru all things in his life. Of course he will just like a daughter would.

When a man or a woman meets someone and falls in love, they will love that person with their whole heart as well, as they should.

There should never be a competition as it is like brice said two different forms of love. My sons and my daughters love me with all their heart. They love their husbands and have left my home to start a life of their own. A good mother will respect that and not interfere and a good mate will encourage a relationship between a man and his mother as well. At least that is how it is supposed to be.

I'm a man and I am married.  I also have a mother.  The love one shares with a parent is different than with his girlfriend/wife.... or at least it should be.  Otherwise it sounds a bit like incest and that isn't good any way you look at it.

There are things that I'd do for both my mom and wife.... things like defend their honor, stand in front of a bullet, house work.... whatever.  But there are things that I'd never do with my mother, period....
