I am the same if there is someone who I just feel is not right I will go quiet and that included my son's ex-partner. Although I know I shouldn't be judgemental and I tried so hard to find some common ground. The new partner he has now is a joy for me to be with, she is friendly, good mannered, easy to talk to and I don't feel like I am walking on eggshells anymore it's great.

When I was younger I tended to go for the moody, broody types but in the long run it ended up being a nightmare, yes life is too short to do that to yourself.
