A few years ago my dad died and my mom and I became really close. She and my brother are the only family I have left so I end up spending a lot of time with both of them. Ladies, is it a red flag if a guy has a good relationship with their mom?

Absolutely not! Its only a red flag if the relationship you have with her gets in the way of dating such as constantly seeking her validation or approval or if she's heavily involved in your relationships. As long as you are still your own person I don't see this as a bad thing

Why would it be a bad thing for a guy to have a good relationship with his mom? The only time it would possibly be a bad thing is if he went to her with problems in our relationship instead of me. Or if he let her treat me poorly.

I’ve dated a couple of guys who were overly close with their moms and always comparing me with their moms. you should be fine if you’re normal about it

I’m extremely fortunate that my mom has always been extremely cool and chill whenever I bring a girl over. Even in high school she knew it was better to give us space rather than to pry
