I am in a relationship of 6 months and i really love her. However both my parents and both my sisters havnt been that lucky in love. My mum has had many husbands and divorced my dad when i was young. Both my sisters have also gone through divorces. But on the other side of the family my auntie had 1 true love and 1 marige so do all my cousins. they are all settling down with children. Ok i am young my cousins and my sisiters are all in the 30's. Except i cant help feeling that im going to follow my familys curse and loose my girlfreind because of something and never be able to find the true love. However i believe i have found her and dont want to let go but somethings bugging me that my lifes going to be like my families.

A male reader, Uncle Trev United Kingdom +, writes (1 August 2007):

A successful relationship depends on two things - you and your partner.

You have both got to want to make it work -

you both need to apply give and take -

you both need to see the situation from the partners point of view.

Providing you always do this and never go to sleep without resolving any situation that may ever arise between you, there should be no reason why you shouldn't be able to make a go of this and have a very long and very happy contented relationship.

I wish you luck in your future decisions and hope this one works for you.

As for the curse of your familys past - that one will only ever haunt you as long as you choose to let it.

A female reader, happytochat Australia +, writes (1 August 2007):

First of all you must realise that the divorce rates these days are exstremely high, so just because many people in your family have had them, it doesnt mean its something to do with your family in particular- alot of people go through it. However, perhaps you will 'follow in your parents footsteps' if the reason being for them any divorces in your family are due to something that they have all done wrong- like not being able to communicate well within relationships or something. However, either way, you dont HAVE to follow in their footsteps. You just have to find out as much as you can about being in relationships. THere are HEAPS of self help boooks and web sites out there that you can read hwich will advise you on this. So I suggest you do that, to give yourself the best chance possible.
