How Parents Affect Your Love Life
Take a look at a great article on how parents affect your love life. I am one of the experts feature in the article. Parents effect not only your relationship behavior, but your partner choices, how you behave under stress and what you are willing and unwilling to put up with in a relationship. Kudos to sassybean.com for broaching this subject.
The article suggests you look at healthy couples for new role models, and that is a great start. And to definitively break the relationship mold created for you by your parents, you have to do much more work than that. This is one thing I work on extensively with clients, as redesigning your emotional life™ and is seldom navigated successfully without support.

hey there,
There are so many things that make us who we are, especially romantically. I don’t think when I was younger that I consciously told myself that I was going to follow my mother and father/stepfathers footsteps in how to be with another human being. But the more and more and more that I am in relationships, I find myself doing things like I was programmed from my childhood. Whether it’s the way that I fight, or the emotional support that I so highly demand from my partner, there is always a correlation between me and my parents. (especially my mother)
There is a huge online community that struggles with relationships. I think that your stories and advice would be very beneficial to them. If you want to check it out, the personal community that I am a part of is,
