[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a person needs to look very very closely at the potential spouse’s family of origin. Does he get along with his parents- if not, why not? Siblings? How is the parents’ relationship if still together? If divorced- why? Anyone have mental health issues, substance abuse issues, etc- if so, how have those been handled? Does this person have a good family support system, all things considered? What types of stories does he tell about his childhood? IMO 90%+ of the time, you will find your answer there. The warning signs will be there if you look. That doesn’t mean any mental health or family relationship issues are an automatic disqualifier- not at all. But if there are any red flags one would be wise to take those seriously and investigate further. [/quote] And make them plan a vacation for you by themselves. [/quote]
