Does a man's relationship with his mother in any way influence how he will treat his significant other? I've heard this is an important thing to watch out for as an indicator of possible future behavior with other women? What do you think? When considering a man as a future date or partner do women tend to look at this relationship as a big deciding factor in whether to get involved with a man or not?

Depends of course on how deep and dark we are talking here.

I love my mother & talk with her at least 4 times a week. She is 84 and has really slowed down the past few years. I know she is losing her memory. I want to spend as much time with her as possible as I know her time here is limited. My mom has been a role model for me throughout her life....Her 'kill them with kindness' philosophy has been a successful way in dealing with angry or negative people....Also my mom taught me manners & the difference between doing whats right and doing what's wrong....She also taught me to take responsibility for my actions & not to blame others for whatever situation I might find myself....

I don't know how that transfers to my relationship with women, but i hope i'm treating them with respect....

Well, I have read and heard that if people seem to have unresolved energy on either parent, it can affect how they relate to intimate relationships with some one of the same sex. I have noticed that the men and women I have known that hated or had issues with a parent tended to have bad relationships with others of the same sex as the parent they had problems with.

Just my opinion. It does not mean it is true. Seems to me tho, that when someone does not resolve personal issues, they keep picking people they will have an opportunity to work thru their issues with. But until they realize that they are the ones that have the problem and stop blaming others, they will not have any long lasting happy relationships. You have to be at peace inside to create it outside of you.

It goes both ways, some women want their fathers. The f*ucked up side of this is that you may meet his needs being his 'mom needs' were not satisfied by mom.

I believe that can be an indicator how he treats his Mother but maybe also his Sister if his Mother is out of the picture.

Just from my own experience...If a guy still has his mother controlling his checkbook then run and don't look back. If they are 30+ and still living with parents (unless the parents are ill) also run. There's an unhealthy controlling relationship there.

A guy that has good communication with his mother and will do things for her that she can't do for herself is definitely a keeper.

If a man yo're dating doesn't treat his mother right then it's time to Run.
I think it also depends on the type of relationship he had with his mother.

If his mother was horrible and they were not close at all,of course he may not be as good to his mother but may be good towards a woman.There may be some men who are good to their mothers but may not be good to their girlfriends.I would also take into consideration on how well his father treats his mother.

My mother has a type of autism. no communication learned for me until recently. I am now almost fifty. Yes, my relationship with my mother sucked and so has my relationship with anyone else, so it's out and it's true. doh

This site has been the best therapy I have ever experienced. It, along with the pros, has help me sort out a few things I missed as a youngster. My self confidence is at a level never experience before and my self esteem is out the roof, thanks to all of you. teddybear
