Tali, RE MIL, I was talking to my mum last night, and even though she said that no-one will ever be good enough for her children, she said she did like Nigel (my ex), until recently, and she also likes my Bro's GF. I think it really depends on who your are as a person. If you are a nicer person in general, then it'll be easier to be a nice MIL! :D
Cate, it would be nice just to have some male company. just make sure you are both on the same level, you don't want to get hurt!
