[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Green flags:
1. Lives alone or with a roommate and the place is not a wreck.
2. Can cook.
3. Doesn't outsource every single thing (wash and fold, for instance) unless he has a crazy 80 hr/week job
4. Maintains good relationships with his family
5. Has close friends of both genders
6. Didn't have a SAHM (they can't help this one, but by observation and studies, it really matters to how they internalize whose "job" it is to handle all the grunt work)[/quote]

Number 6 is controversial, but MIL was a SAHM who watched tv all day, with a bunch of kids, and she didn't do much - she was checked out, was not a great (or even good enough) cook, made little effort (except to jump for FIL), and didn't have any identity other than FIL.  I think bc she was exhausted of having to "wait on" FIL, who was consistently emotionally unavailable.  Ultimately, it is about how the dad treats the mom, mutual respect (!!!) and what kind of example your potential husband had (in his parents), growing up.  [/quote]
