    • Let's not forget that men are sometimes abused by their wives. Both physical and emotional abuse.

    Planes, trains, automobiles.... people travel.
    Some do, some don't. My mother and my MIL have only ever met once, at our wedding. It was certainly out of her comfort zone to travel, but she did for that occasion. My family never met my FIL because FIL would not travel. And it's not just one-sided. My mother doesn't like to travel either, but she had the advantage of the wedding being local for her. I don't exclude myself from this trend, buy my reasons are different. While I agree with your list in theory, I just can't picture it playing out on a practical level for a long-distance relationship, especially if the families are not both Traditional Catholic.

    That’s true. It’s less common for women to physically abuse their husbands than it is vice versa but it does happen. I think women emotionally abusing husbands is more common. Something that is  not talked about enough. As well as women using child custody threats to make a man stay in relationship.

    Every situation is different and the list was not meant to be a "catch-all" response. I was providing what our family does to pick up on red flags and to promote a good and holy match for marriage. I would encourage all to take what works for your family from the list and then add/subtract/modify or, create an entirely new list. The goal is to help in the success of a good and holy marriage.

    • Agreed. Men need to be aware of red flags in the relationship as well.  

    Knowing different aspects of personality disorders is an excellent idea.  They seem to be extremely prevalent in our society today.  Which begs the question, is it truly a mental disorder or a mind disordered by sin?  But that is a topic for another thread!

    Knowing the different traits and what to look out for in terms of mental illness/disorders and abusive personalities would seem to go hand in hand.

    Yes a female family member of mine threatened to "Andrea Yates" her children if her husband didn't quit his job and move to ICA in Idaho.  He gave in and her mental illness charade didn't end there.  She staged a nervous breakdown when Francis was elected so they could go SV.  Then she was possessed when she got tired of the trad life and wanted to wear pants again.  He always caved and now they live a comfortable, non-Catholic life in the midwest.
