It's healthy for you to have this kind of relationship with your mom. And it doesn't sound like you leave your husband out, you just take a few times each year to have time just the two of you (mom and you). It doesn't sound like you neglect that same thing with your husband either.

If he's feeling insecure, you can do your best to help that with some of the suggestions above. Phoning him (sex or not!), texting, keeping in contact while you're away can be great.

If he's smothering you in a passive aggressive way than you could call him on it. Can he articulate exactly WHY he gets this way? Could he even suggest a few ways that you could help his feelings (other than staying home)?

Try not to feel guilty, but don't ignore the problem either.
