Are you (half) Italian-American? Just a guess, lol, Italy is full of mama's boys, they don't leave home until they marry, they literally go from mom to bang maid (wife); they never learn basic self-care or home care, basically over-grown toddlers for life. Thankfully not universally true in Italy (I don't live there, lucky for me given the pandemic), but it's common enough to be a bit of a trope.

Not quite from that side of the world haha. My man and I are from completely different racial backgrounds on opposite sides, but we both have very sexist culture. My coworker(I work remotely) is American and has heritage in particular to one of the races I am(my parents from separate countries). He cannot even speak the language and act like he knows how it is, very disappointing.

Yes, it is very common in my mother's country for the children not to move out of parent's house until they get married. We have very big families there.

Mama's boys seem very common...It's a shame. I can't stand them.
