If it's true that we follow in our parents footsteps, then my R with W is screwed.
W's father cheated on her mother and then she had a revenge affair. They divorced and W's mother (whom she is abnormally close to) has had a string of bad relationships and is now permanently single because she hates men.
Ironically, my parents are still together after 40 years. Maybe that's why I don't give up on relationships.
