Do you believe the men who are close to their moms are more loving and respectful to their partners?

Yes if their mother is a role model wife/mother/daughter in law. The son will probably respect women in general, and could be a gentleman. Otherwise, it might be a love-hate relationship between mother and son, mother can't stop interfering and son can't resist reporting. In that scenario, the mother will constantly feel a need to compete and doing things a wife can do for the son ( like checking bank account and opening personal letters). Many a times the wife might feel incompetent, less prioritized, and being treated unfairly. Just saying.
