Do great sons...

…make great husbands?

Discuss.

Re: Do great sons...

Hmmm...yes and no I guess. lol Depends on the individual. On the one hand, some men are totally mama's boys and even after getting married neglect their wives and give precedence to their moms. You want a man who gives both his mom and his wife their rights.

On the other hand, it's important that a man is respectful and kind to his mom. Because if he's swearing at his mom and calling her names during arguments etc, he will prob do the same to his wife in due course of time.

Re: Do great sons...

Nope. It makes them momma's boys :D

Re: Do great sons...

They should, shouldn't they?

I mean, this mom he loves so much...is a woman. And then you have his wife...also a woman.

A good son should make a great husband but such is not always the case.

Such is life.

Re: Do great sons...

Depends on your definition of "great".

Re: Do great sons...

But to some guys the mother has a completely diff 'status' to the wife (I can't think of another way to describe it).. They might have an amazing level of respect for their mothers but then look down on other women in general..

Re: Do great sons...

I think good sons are also good husbands in 90% cases. rest are still unmarried. hehehehe

Re: Do great sons...

yep I have an example in my house!!!

A guy who woke up to make sahoor with his motehr is the guy who wakes up with his wife to help her as well!

Re: Do great sons...


NOT necessarily...i've seen two-in-ones!

i've seen a son who was extremely good to others [an exemplary brother, an upright person, a great cousin] while he was terribly mean to his wife...he later divorced for a frivolous reason. his wife is still known as the kindest, most gentle person in the entire community she lives in...he complained that his wife could not communicate in English as he has to move in Hi-Fi society...he lived in India...he could have hired a tutor for her to teach English...it was just an excuse...NOT only that, he separated her ONLY son from his mother for 14 years...mother never saw her son for 14 lonnnngggg and agonizing years...

...his own father got so mad that he told his son NOT to show his face to him again in his life and after death not to attend his funeral...and he followed through what he said...he was an honest police officer [Superintendent of Police] and he was killed in an encounter with Dacoits in India...he died a tragic death and the son did NOT see his dad's face as per his wishes.

i've seen others too buty one example is enough...these are the people who are kinda selfish, do NOT know how to sacrifice!

i hope he'll pay for what he did to his wife on the day of Judgment! aameen, summaa aameen.

i personally HATE to the core such 'Jackyl N Hyde' type of people!

Re: Do great sons...

A man being a great son could be taken as an indicator that he could possibly make a great husband, but it would be foolish to ASSUME that he would make a great husband for sure.

There are countless cases of men out there who cheat on their wife, abuse them, and heck...even go as far as to murder them. There is nothing that proves that all those men are not good sons to their mothers. In fact, I know plenty of situations where men practically worship their mothers....yet treat their wives like crap.

On the flip side, I also know situations where men treat their mothers like crap and totally abandon them at their old age....PLENTY of situations where the elderly get dumped into nursing homes. Yet they treat their wives like queens.

Not necessarily.

Re: Do great sons...

Norman Bates loved his Mom a lot too.

Re: Do great sons...

A great son can definitely be a great husband given he understands the balance he needs to keep in both relationships specially with his wife and his mother.

I unfortunately am neither, atleast thats what both ammi and biwi say :D

Re: Do great sons...

its opposite actually...

a great son is inversely proportional to great husband....

Re: Do great sons...

and his hot parosan, also a woman.

Re: Do great sons...

I grew up reading trash magazines and they all said the same thing--look at how a man treats his mother/sister/the waitress at the restaurant you're on a date at, (the latter especially because it'll show if he tends to take ppl for granted after a while and would treat you like a servant later on). I can easily say that's not true. at all.

Re: Do great sons...

I think it's telling how a man / person treats the waiter / waitress at a restaurant or the help (esp in the third world). It's usually how you can spot the bullies.

Re: Do great sons...

I guess you'd have to define "great son" but yes, I think that a well-raised son will be a good husband.....

Re: Do great sons...

I honestly don't see that to be true, at least in the experiences I've had..where the waiter was treated very nicely but the friends/spouse/family member weren't treated very nicely.

Re: Do great sons...

I've seen several examples of this as well.....where any outsider is treated with the utmost respect and family members are not.....I think these folks are exceptions to the rule Sara.....
