I love men who treat their mothers well & have a good relationship with them. Nothing is more scary than a guy with a BAD relationship with his mother. Issues galore...Thats actually one of the first questions I want to know when I meet someone. Do they like their mom? Do they respect them? are they close? It tells you so much about a guy. Even in a difficult childhood, a man has to respect his mom. It's a requirement for me now. Last guy I was with, although he wasn't too close to his mom(she lived in another state), he never uttered a single bad word about her. He called her, and kept in contact with her on a consistent level even though she had "issues" when he was growing up.IP: Logged |

I'd guess a guy who caters to his mother's wishes no matter how unreasonable and even has his mother to give permission or even make his decisions for him (not to be confused with asking for her advice, opinion, or input). It's not something I've thought much about. Though offhand I find it interesting that a "Mama's Boy" is one who dotes on his mother and does all that she says but a "Daddy's Girl" is one who is doted on by her father and generally thought to be spoiled & bratty (even as an adult).

Birdy, while I do absolutely have to be with a man who respects his mom...T ? Pixie  I question my sanity of "staying with" a 45 year old man, who left, supposedly the one he loves, to go home and be with his mamma, 1200 miles away. I would never have asked him to stay, it was his plan before he met me, and he was depressed until he did so.  IP: Logged |

The family that you're compelled by blood to be in shouldn't exert a lot of influence on you. Everyone should spend a good deal of time away from their families in order that they might learn to seek their own counsel and be self-reliant. The family you choose is ultimately more important than the one you don't (though hopefully your blood family is deserving of being chosen by you as well).IP: Logged |

AG that is so profound.
I have always thought, and experienced throughout life quirky little families, a mixture of this and that, my kids and theirs, the men that have come into my life, and out, were little created families on the way...a mixture of common souls that came together for an experience, brief or not.... I totally agree with you~
