[quote=Anonymous]Unacknowledged and unresolved family issues. I grew up in a verbally abusive household. I was in two long term relationships with men who verbally and emotionally abused me. I took a long time off from relationships after the second one. It took a lot of self-education for me to recognize how growing up in my family of origin conditioned me to accept this kind of behavior from men. Similarly, my last partner also had unresolved family of origin issues - mental illness and substance abuse by parent. These issues had a tremendous impact on my partner and his ability to commit long term to a relationship. If that makes me "broken," so be it. I have a lot more wisdom and insight into relationships now than I did before and much more insight than many of my married friends, some of whom have stayed in relationships which are terrible for themselves and their children. Marriage in and of itself doesn't mean a good life for kids. [/quote]
