I think it's affected me alot. I feel it MAY be one of the reasons I don't like to get too close to anyone. Then again, I may be using that as an excuse, because I'm afraid of change.

good question.
some say that we are what we experience.
when we are young we are like sponges which means we grab much more information than as adults.
therefore, it follows that what we experience with our parents would affect how we behave in our own relationships.
However, if we grow up and we are thinking individuals and we realize that some of the mistakes that our parent may have committed. we may be able not to repeat them.
Again if we are thinking individuals, if we are slaves of vicious cycles well we are messed up.

Pretty significantly. My parents had a rather turbulent marriage, with tons of arguing and even worse. My father was caught committing adultery a number of times, which led to their getting divorced.

And THEN there were the less-than-admirable experiences I've had with the post-divorce girlfriends my dad's had over the years. One of them in particular was a rather difficult experience.

As a result, I've had a somewhat guarded, sometimes-distant relationship with ladies. I probably haven't dated as much as I probably should have, and the relationships I DID have usually didn't turn out very well. It probably also explains why I'm still single to this day.

So yeah- I'd say the relationships my parents had affected me greatly. It's just too bad those relationships weren't particularly pleasurable.
