[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We treat our spouses the way we saw our parents interact.

This means we often end up with spouses who are similar to our parents because we are comfortable and familiar with the behavior patterns. [/quote]

Didn’t happen with us. Husband is nothing like my Dad and has become mean and verbally abusive, and my parents never fought in front of us so this was all new to me.

My childhood wasn’t perfect but the love and affection my parents had for each other was apparent. That is not the case at all in my marriage. He is mean, we fight, sometimes in front of the kids, because that is how his parents where. I so try to not fight in front of the kids but I also have to show them what is unacceptable behavior from a husband so I do stand up to him in front of them.

My main goal in life now is to find the magical method of determining that your significant other won’t turn into a mean, abusive axxhat. I want to know this so bad for my daughters to not ever be in the situation I am in now.[/quote]
