I think your enthusiasm 'Louise (Wolowitz)', encourages us to rethink Howard. Often the show itself tries to tell us how we should feel about a character. But we're beyond that. It's baffling me the whole Jewish Mother cliche. CL does believe in the 'write about what you know', so maybe he's replaying his early life. I'm not sure Howard is any more grown up than the other guys, I'd say they were all about same! But like you said, breaking away from his mother, becoming totally independent would have been good for him. How to escape a clingy mother? But to go on to someone , bossy like B. That is crazy!
