I don’t want to raise him to think like she does.
If your mother does share her beliefs with your son, which is likely, be prepared to talk to your son and let him know that you and your mom differ on certain principles of how men and women should live in the world.Be sure to explain why so that your son doesn’t just view your divergence as defiance. One day he will likely disagree with some belief you espouse. Your actions and explanations today will serve as the backbone of his words and actions in the future.
I am offended that she looks at me as a threat, but I’m also a bit concerned that she may be in a toxic marriage if she’s worried about her husband being tempted. Am I wrong to feel offended?Go out with your friend. In a neutral environment where her husband will not likely join you, ask her what is going on. Gently inquire about her life, including how she likes marriage and what it’s like to be in that level of relationship with her husband.
Ask her why she is worried about him being “tempted” by you. Has anything happened? Why is she worried about you being in his presence? Probe deeper. Is she happy? What does she want in life? Is she getting any of that in her marriage? Talk to her until you have a sense of what her life is like. Let her know that you are there for her if she ever needs an escape.
