My man spends most of his time at his mom’s house

Dear Pastor,

I am in a relationship with a man, but he is hardly home. He spends most of his time at his mother's house. When I asked him why he has to spend so much time there, he gets very upset.

I told him he should remember that I am all alone and waiting on him to come home. His father is at home with his mother. So it is not a matter that nobody is there with his mom.

I complained to his mother. She said she was not tying her son on to her skirt, so whenever he came by, he could stay as long as he wanted and then leave. Sometimes when this man comes home and I offer him dinner, he tells me that he is not hungry because he ate at his mother's house. He is like a mama's boy.

I do not want to cheat on my boyfriend, but sometimes when I want him the most, he is not around. I told my boyfriend that I eat salt and he asked me what I meant. I told him that because he is so close to his mother, he should ask her. He did not ask her, he asked his father, who laughed at him and told him that he should start paying more attention to me. What I was trying to tell him was that I have sexual feelings that can only be satisfied by a man, and he should not take me for granted.

My boyfriend will see this letter and see the answer. I hope your answer will help the both of us.

Dear P.L.,

What were you trying to tell this man when you said that you eat salt? I have heard that expression many, many times. Were you saying that salt has a way of turning on a woman sexually, and so he should know what he is doing and stop ignoring you? He discussed the matter with his father and his father warned him to stop neglecting you. So I hope that he will listen to what his father said, and he should find his way home soon after he leaves work.

Pastor
