[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is shaped by my parents but kind of like, in direct opposition. My parents had a crappy marriage, my mom had a crappy remarriage and as a result I cultivate my marriage like a garden.

They were always screaming at each other and had so much resentment. I never let us simmer in anger at each other. We always talk things out calmly and relatively quickly. I try to keep working on our marriage at the forefront of both of our minds, even with little kids.

That's all basically as a direct result of watching my parents, but I'm not repeating history. [/quote]

My siblings...my brother has a girlfriend and a kid with her. They seem to have an alright relationship but he definitely coops things up and she is kind of domineering. My other brother is kind of a permanent bachelor. I hesitate to even comment on the first brother's relationship though because I am a firm believer that no one really knows what's happening in a relationship except the people in it, and maybe the people living with you, but mostly just the two people in the trenches.
