[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ex was raised by a single mom and I actually think it made him a better spouse. He was really into what women want and need. He was better at gifts than anyone I had ever met and he was sensitive. His mom had taught him what not to do.

He was messed up in so many ways by having a needy single mom, but he wasn't a bad husband because of it. [/quote]

+1.  Same for my DH.  He was raised by a single mom and was the oldest of 4 kids. Since very young, he was the "man" of the house, the sounding board for his mom and the primary caretaker for his younger siblings.  His sense of responsibility and obligation is off the charts.  As a DH, I could not ask for anything more.  The issue with him is because he was forced into this role early, he does not know how to let his hair or his guard down. He never had a chance to be a carefree kid.  Thus, he has had to learn to that its ok to do something like delaying a household chore to play ball with our boys.  [/quote]
