Husband son Mom wife syndrome

When a son knowingly or unknowingly takes the role of a husband to their mother excluding sex. The mother is often over protective and jealous of her son's serious relationships. This is a common disorder with single moms.
An example of the Husband son Mom wife syndrome is; Mama Dee and Scrappy on VH1's "Love and Hip Hop"; Tasha Mack and Malik on BET's "The Game."
A Modwife refers to women who have embraced multi-option lives over more traditional or feminist roles, and who allow, or encourage multi-option lives for their husbands. This in contrast to feminist and traditional roles which often insists the woman or wife should set the tempo of all relationship matters and the man should simply fall into line instead of mansplaining etc. The modwife is a true libertarian within relationships.
My wife is a modwife, she actually encourages me to have as many options as she has.
