Not really. The idea was there. Just took a few times to get it right. Our parents our happy now.


My bf did but I didn't at all . I blame my bad role models on some of my problems


Maybe not the best... But good examples


Not really, in either case...


We both come from very functional families and I think it has taught us that marriages are not disposable when there is a little bump on the road, but also taught us about respect, etc.



He did. I didn't.


Yes we both had good role models.


I did, she did not.


My husband did but I did not


I did not--my parents were alcoholic, mentally ill, and physically abusive so that was not good. My Dear Hubby did though--his parents loved each other and demonstrated commitment, but his dad did die when Dear Hubby was a young adult.


Neither of us did. Self-made ppl thn god we turned out well.


He did. I didn't by any means!

But I can only think that the fact that i didn't have any was for the best, since a lot of my good qualities come from it (being independent, being a go-getter, etc.)

However, on the other hand, I do have some bad qualities that stem from that too. Like my need to always want verbal appreciation, or a 'pat on the back' kinda thing.


Neither of us had the best relational role models.


I definitely did! Him, not so much. His dad was a great role model, but his mom and dad split when he was little. His mom was the complete opposite of being a role model. She was a perfect example of how "not to be".



Oh yeah... Well my parents are no role models for relationship but they are for romance (mother) and gentleman (father)
