I would say that half of all men have a bad relationship with the parent(s) of the person they are romantically involved in. Sometimes it is just one and other time it is both. Most times, it is the mother.
The female-female clashing seems to be over control, for lack of a better term, of the male.
Men should, and most often do, step up for their wife/girlfriend. That is a major marker of the relationship. If he steps up for you, then he has emotionally committed to the long-term. What he says by that action is that you are more important than his mother.
The male-male clashing is similar to the female-female clashing. Fathers want only the best for their little girls, so it is more of a challenge to the younger man. Can the man step up and be the man that the father wants for his daughter.
When men clashing with the mother of their romantic interest, then this is about boundaries. The man feels that this woman is not respecting his boundaries. He feels that she is interfering in the relationship. Other times, it is that the mother does not measure up. He may feel that the mother is dragging the daughter down to a level that is beneath her. Both can be true.
