Guys: a bad relationship with your mother leads to bad relationships throughout life?

Bowlby was a tit, I'd rather listen to the stupidity of freud than him.





why are you listening to your past decisions if they obviously arnt working for you?
I dont see how you can blame your mum for what you get up to in your relationships. Its a total cop out. Maybe its something like b.o or you dont listen to any girl that you're with or leave the seat up or something else thats generally complained about.

You're totally off topic and talking out of your arse. The whole fact that you think that understanding the impact of past events is blaming someone just shows you don't know the first thing about what we're talking about here and are compensating by just saying complete platitudes.

As a guy, I've gone through pretty bad times with my Mum. I blamed her quite a bit for the breakup of my family...so really, have never had a very good relationship with my Mum even though she's always been a caring mother.

There's a theory (not sure how scientific it is) that the relationship with your mother conditions your relationships with women later on. In my case, I can only agree. I haven't managed to have a proper long-term relationship ever and I'm 23.

Not sure if such "theories" exist for girls but can anyone say they've noticed the same thing in their situation?
