It depends on the terms he is on with said parent and what he has been through during his childhood, the fact that he doesn't respect his mother might actually make him respect you more
Respect goes both ways you give it you get it, and no not all mother's are great my mother way not good to me and I am very kind
True, but to blame your mother for all of your problems? Ehh...
I'm not saying for all my problems but it does affect you but as you get older you have your own opinions and see things it does affect some things in your life
If it is like he says and she is a good mom but he treats her badly then yeah, thats a big red flag
My mom tried to drown my little sister and burn me alive
So no
Yes Red Flag,
My fiance respects his family in general greatly.
It probably means he won't be as attached as his partner but it's nothing to do with respect.
That’s a shitty situation. Someone like that just shouldn’t date at all in that case, because it wouldn’t be fair to the partner.
I agree. I don't. I have stayed single for 6 years.
Well she could be a knob.
Or not that good, but not that bad and not really respected, but not really disrespected, seems fine.
Yes. Very much so. But he is an unhappy boy with childhood trauma issues.
He's relation to his parents tells nothing about him.
No. My mom was a succubous bitch ever since I was five and my dad is a stalinist psycho.
If he blames anyone but himself for his problems he's gonna become a "do it yourself " type dad
What do you mean by that?
he's gonna be lazy, your gonna basically have to raise your kids by yourself
Oh. Why would guys like him want a family at all if they don’t want to raise the kids?
The minds of men dont always work properly. He wants them to continue his "legacy "
No, you've no idea what his past with his mother was like.
Yes, but thats only becase I come from a culture that respects everyone thats older than you.
Well i mean it depends
Is his mother abusive? Or manipulative?
Or is his mother a sweetheart?
I dunno. She seems more like an enabler.
Not all mothers deserve respect.
True, but if the mom was legitimately a good person, I’d respect her.
I would have to know the situation to say one way or the other.
30 year old man blames his mother for his weight, claiming that she raised him on ice cream, burgers, and chips. Also, the way he talks about her too indicates a lack of respect for her in general.
Yes but it depends on the situation.
Not if he has good reason.
His reason is that she raised him on ice cream, burgers, and chips. He blames her for how fat he is right now, despite being 30 years old and admitting that he hates healthy food.
Makes sense. It's all he knew growing up. our childhood and honor to adolescents are the most vital years of influence for us, so it makes sense that she would be the one responsible for his bad habits.
The problem now is, he is aware. It's up to him to decide what he does next. She squarely holds the blame for yesterday, but tomorrow is his and his alone.
Childhood and into adolescence**
Yeah but he blames her for the fact that he’a still fat, which is caused by his dislike of healthy food and exercise. He likes playing video games and thinks exercise is a waste of time and energy.
That part he cannot blame on her. That part is him and him alone.
I think so too. I don’t get why he insists on blaming her for his own choices in the present.
The question you need to ask yourself is, this is likely who he'll be for the rest of his life. Is that the kind of person you want for the rest of yours?
huge huge redflag. he'll likely treat you the same
Not all mothers earn respect
But his mom didn’t abuse him. She just enabled him to eat junk and play video games all day when he was younger. He blames her for how fat he is now, even though he’s 30 years old.
Lol that's the kind of thing you specify in the question description
Why are you with him in the first place?
I thought he was a nice person, but this was before he started talking shit about his mom.
This is less about his mom and more about him accepting responsibility for his own actions.
True. That, he doesn’t do. Whenever I argued with him because of how much of a jerk he was being at the moment, he put the blame of the argument on me. I’m assuming his logic was, it was my fault that I didn’t take his shit instead of defending myself.
I mean I hate all my solutions to these relationship questions to be "break up" but I can't think of any healthier option
How a man treats others, is how he'll treat you
No. It means her mom is a failure.
Depends what his mother did
YES HA
A giant red flag.
Yes major red flags
Yes. Run away as fast as you can.
Oh yah
Red Flag.
Yes big red flag
Not necessarily.
How come?
No. That is sexist.
How?
because you are labelling and dicriminating all men. Maybe his mom was a bitch to him?
But she wasn’t. She spoiled him rotten, and enabled him. He blames her for how fat he is now, claiming that she “raised him on junk”, even though he’s 30 years old.
You shouldn't like a fat pig when there is young, hot, in shape guys like me who wanna fuck ahaha. Unless you are fat too I guess. Anyways if you don't like him don't talk to him. Simple.
You’re funny. I’m not, though.
Yes big time
Big one for me
that he is an ass
Not really.
Pretty much.
YES!!!
Yes it's a red flag
