Now what?

Today, I went on the road for work for the first time in a very long time. I was enjoying lunch with coworkers when my phone got bombarded with calls and texts. Turns out my wife and my mother had gotten into a fight within two hours of me being away. FML

I imagine you returning home to put a tape line down the middle of the house, saying "now, until I get back - you stay on your side, and you stay on yours.."

Now i see why you dont go on the road very often

This is exactly why I'm glad my husband and I live 1000 miles from either of our parents.

Why the hell is your mother even living with you? Tell that leach to get a job and move out!

Because she's his mother, they're one of the few people in the world you can extend that privilege to.

Yeah. I wouldn't let my parents move out either. So, maybe it's like a cultural thing, as well?

Negative, ghost rider. When you get married, you cut the umbilical cord, and focus on your wife. It sounds like his mom doesn't want to let him go, he's too much of a mama's boy to get rid of her, and his wife is sick of it.

Where does it say the mother lives with them?

It doesn't, but I think it's implied. How else could they be fighting after only 2 hours? Unless the mom was waiting for the son to leave so she could "kick her ass for stealing my son." But now I'm just making stuff up.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. There should be a "Thank God I'm on the road" button.

Does your mom have lots of money? If yes, are you getting it all when she dies? If yes to both then side with your mom. If no to one of those then side with your wife.

You could use it to your advantage OP, maybe mention how you'd love to have a sandwich right now. You'll get two.
