Asking for neutral advice

I'm seeing this guy for about the last two months. I have nothing to say against the time we spend together or his attitude with me. He's so a warm person. But...when he is talking about his family or his relationship with his supperiors, it is like he's always in conflict with them. I really like him and don't want to judge him on situations where I do not have the complete story. But it is enough for me to ask myself what he will be like in a serious relationship 🤔

I understand that as I dated someone who seemed to argue with his siblings, Mum and housemates. It's not a great sign tbh but as it's early days just wait to see what happens. If he's making himself the victim in his relationships, he will likely do that with you

He sounds like someone who likes to moan. Just trust your gut, it’s usually right.

But it is enough for me to ask myself what he will be like in a serious relationship.

And I would say that is a very good question. People always tell you who they are, in one way or another. It's extremely important to listen and observe, without excusing (he had a bad day, he's a very nice person, really, etc.). I would continue to observe and not become too involved unless and until you're sure that he would be a good partner.

I decided not to meet somewhat I had really like when chatting to on the phone and text, as he just didn’t have a good word to say about anyone, family or colleagues.
Not a good sign.
