What aspects of your parents relationship would you not want in your relationship? (date, married)

[AmberDaviesx]

so i was reading an article called Does your parents relationship affect your love life ? and i was wondering if there was any aspects of your parents relationship that you would not want in your own relationship?

they split up when i was 5 so i wouldnt want that if we had kids.

Long duration fighting. My parents only had one fight in their 58 years of marriage.
The thing is, that fight lasted 57 years.

Bloodshed and face ripping.

Let’s see:

Chronic alcoholism
A degenerate as a son
The brainwashing of religion for one party
Less than helpful extended family

I take it the degenerate son was not you ;-)

Their fight. I think one of the reason I date the guys I dated was we didn't fight.

I would consider myself extremely lucky to find a relationship like that of my parents.

Alcoholism
Codependency
Routine bickering

They've been married for 51 years and going strong, but I would not accept either of those aspects in a relationship of my own.
