To all those who parents were married.... Has that influenced your desire or decision to be married?

Do you view your parents marriage as a template for what you want our of your relationships??

they divorced a few years later that was more influential than anythjng else
 
It didn’t

I know how to compartmentalize and isolate

Can honestly say that had no bearing on how I lived at all
That's good that you feel that way. I feel like most people should be and to do this, but I was legit puzzled that people really feel only children from married homes are capable of a successful marriage themselves
 
I was born out of wedlock, but my parents married then quickly divorced after. It definitely effected how I looked at relationships as an adult.
How bout as a parent? So you think you will discourage your children's marriage aspirations when that day comes?
 
If my shit went south, I'm positive I would never remarry. Growing up with a single,I didn't place much value on marriage to begin with. I saw the church force her to get married when I was like 9, and that shit didn't last but like a year.

I just didn't see the appeal of feeling like you had to be with someone unless you really wanted to be. I got married because I really wanted to be with my wife.. Not cuz of no lonely shit.

Lotta people just don't wanna be alone. And I don't really know if that comes from growing up watching their parents together, being raised by a single parent, or what. I know folks in unhappy marriages that won't leave cuz their parents never divorced.

I dunno shit just impacts people different ways... And I was just curious where the conversation would go.
