Howard Wolowitz is one of the main characters in The Big Bang Theory. Howard is a Jewish engineer who used to live with his mother Debbie from seasons 1-5. Mostly Howard's relationship with her is not a good one. Sometimes Howard loves her, sometimes he really wants to get away from her because of her loud, obnoxious and overbearing demeanor. Their relationship is like Norman and Norma Bates sometimes and Owen Lift and Momma Lift. Howard got married to a beautiful Microbiologist named Bernadette Rostenkowski. A lot of times he puts up with Sheldon Cooper (the show's main antagonist) but frequently wants to ditch him or get rid of him because of Sheldon's idiosyncracies and demanding ways, just like Leonard, Raj, Penny and Bernadette want to do to Sheldon.
