I wonder if this article fits in on this thread, on the subject of choosing your man(?)

1. Does he get on well with his mother?
"A psychotherapist friend of mine would argue that this is all you really need to know.
If he respects and loves his mother, and they have a relaxed, happy, affectionate relationship, he's very likely to treat all the women in his life well. She was the first woman in his life and how he relates to her sets the benchmark for you.
They need to be close but not too close. If he hasn't cut the apron springs, move right along. The man who checks with his mother before making all decisions, is at her beck and call and has a pretty obvious adoration/pathological hatred thing going on, is to be avoided at all costs. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security if she lives far away: the most dependent children in the world often live the other side of the world from their parents. Physical distance means little."
