5. Howard (The Big Bang Theory)
Howard and Bernadette have been in a relationship since The Big Bang Theorys third season... that was several years ago. Its hard to believe that, despite a brief break up, Howard has been able to hold down a relationship for this long. Hes not exactly cool, given his over exaggerated skills with women, his over exaggerated skills with women and his over exaggerated skills with women. Its a bit of a problem. Hes also a coward, selfish, arrogant and pompous, amongst other things. But theres another reason as to why its a shock him and Bernadette are still together: his over exaggerated relationship with his mother. In some ways, its admirable, given the strong bond they share due to Howards trouble upbringing. But Howard is incredibly comfortable being a mummys boy, as she showers him with attention and cookies. In the same instance though, she regularly condescends and patronises him. Its an issue that Howard and Bernadette still need to overcome, and until Howard can distance himself from his mother, theyll never have an easy relationship.
