How do you spot a mama's boy Im dating a mama's boy she is more important. Im tired of being second should I just leave him we are sixty his mom is more important I found this man a home etc?

Family is important and so is a spouse. If you really like this man it is important for there to be equality between your relationship but if you are in you 60's you should be aware how important it is to have family still around and alive especially his mother. It is a little selfish on your part to think all his attention should be yours as this is an elderly woman your dealing with. She is not going to be around forever and you should find room in your life for her or if for some reason you do not get along then you can work out your shared time between yourself and his mother. This is his family and obviously if you are considering leaving it just goes to show it is true - You can keep family around longer than a spouse. Try to have an open mind, be less selfish and see things from his point of view as when someone is gone they are gone especially when it comes to a parent.

Why did Greece pick thermmopylae to defend against the Persians?

By obstructing the pass, the Persian army's advance into southern Greece was delayed.

As the Persian fleet threatened the Greek cities and the cities kept their armies at home guarding against an amphibious attack on them, the Greeks plan was to provoke a sea battle to destroy the Persian fleet. The idea was that holding the pass would force the Persians to try to outflank the position by sea, and the Greek fleet would pounce.

Unfortunately for the Greeks the sea battle went against them, so holding the pass was to no avail. The troops holding the pass were therefore withdrawn.

The Spartan contingent selflessly continued to hold to let the other city contingents escape.

What caused a lack of trust between Sparta and Athens?

In about 460 BCE, after the Persian invasion had been repelled by the combined Greek forces, Sparta was facing a revolt by its serf population in Messene, and making heavy weather in putting it down. Athens offered to help and sent an expeditionary force to reinforce the Spartan forces. The Athenians were very adventurous in their operations, and showed up Spartan methods, which was based on trying to force a pitched battle with an elusive opposition which declined to make itself such a target. There is also a suggestion thet the Athenians showed some sympathy for the Messenians. The upshot was that Sparta invited the Athenians to go home, and the usual cooperative spirit between the two cities soured.

After peace was finally made with the Persians in 449 BCE, Athens converted the anti-Persian Delian League which it led into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the war fund from the 200 cities of that league to use for its own benefit and maintaining a strong navy to enforce the annual collection of money. With this strength, Athens aggressively interfered in the affairs of the cities to which Sparta was allied in the Peloponnesian League, particularly Corinth.

The Peloponnesian League members urged Sparta to help them stand up to Athens. A cocksure Athens persisted in interfering in other cities, and this came to a head when Athens banned Megara, a Peloponnesian League member, from trade with cities in its empire, which would destroy Megara. The Peloponnesian League demanded Sparta act, Sparta demanded Athens back off, Athens refused, war ensued.
