AITAH for leaving my husband because he is a momma’s boy?

I (29F) married my husband (27M) for 4 years and we have DS5, DS3, DD1.

We’ve been together for 8 years now.

He works as a truck driver for Walmart and I was a SAHM.

I quit nursing to stay home when I had my first child.

This woman had a good relationship with her husband.

Our relationship was good until he said that his mother wanted to move in with him after her husband passed.

I told him no. We don’t have room in our house.

He wanted to put our sons in the same room to make a bedroom for his mother.

Her husband has always been close to his mother.

He has always been close to his mother since he was a child, spoils him and such.

Why move in with us? She is wealthy.

Her husband was a neurosurgeon.

She said she will pay everything, even pay off the house.

She plans to give him everything he wants but not me. She also wants to take my children away from me by spoiling them.

She made him choose between her and his mother.

But that is not the point.

She was going to sell her 6-bedroom, 3-bath, two-story house to move in with us.

I told him it was either his mother or I.

He got mad at me.

She left him, and he moved in with his mother.

I decided to leave him and I told him to go move in with his parents’ house.

I divorced him and our divorce isn’t final yet.

He left to move with his mother.

She plans to go back to her nursing job so she can support her children.

I’m going back to my nursing job because the mortgage is a month behind, and the hospital I used to work at has childcare.

I’m done with him.

I need to be there for my children and provide everything for them on my own.

She gave him a choice, and he didn’t choose her.
