I'm probably legally retarded, FML

he could be just from a traditional family. I didn't move in with my wife till we were married at 26 and she was never allowed to spend the night at my apartment

I'm wondering why she'd object. She might have a legitimate reason if she knows he's irresponsible with stuff around the house. You find out a lot living with someone that you may not be aware of. Had a former room mate that couldn't cook for himself (using recipes) and even some basic stuff he didn't know because his mom always did it for him. It might suck, but could save you in the long run.

please dump his but

Think about this, OP, if he won't stand up to his mother now it shows that she holds all the strings in your relationship. If she doesn't like you, it will get worse and not better. Imagine her dictating his life and meddling with everything from personal finances to your children. These are the things you have to consider in a relationship which can become bitter battlegrounds and the seeds of resentment. If you want more with this guy you need to accept that his mother is part of the package.

What if they are religious? Wouldn't that go against what they stand for?

Is his name Sterling Archer by any chance?

he is cheating unless he still lives with his mother then there is a whole other issue called lazy

reason i broke up with my now-ex. he is a mama's boy and turns 28 this year. FML

is he still living with mom? if so that was your first red flag.
