[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heavy investigation of the future in-laws. Go on vacation with them. Ask how close they are to their families of origin.[/quote] It's not perfect, but even if apples fall relatively far from the tree, they tend to roll back. There's also the big advantage that, while hormones may blind you to your affianced's irritating habits and dubious morals, they aren't going to blind you to your would-be in-laws' irritating habits and dubious morals.[/quote] "Irritating habits and dubious morals" are not mental illnesses, nor are they symptoms of mental illnesses. Some mentally ill people can and do have tics ("habits") and act in ways many consider immoral (promiscuity, theft, etc.) But this thread is nonsensically muddying things, stupidly defining "mental illness" as "things which are character flaws/things I just don't like in a spouse."
