I'd like to say it would more likely than not influence you not to, but I think it all depends on the person. If it were me, after seeing all the harm it caused the family and the marriage I'd learn it wasn't worth it and probably not even consider it later in life if the situation arose. But some people will do things regardless of what they learned/witness and get themselves into trouble without thinking beforehand. It all depends on the person.
For example, I know a friend who's parents cheated, did drugs..etc, she ended up doing the same thing.
My parents cheated, did drugs and I wouldn't consider ever doing that.

To my knowledge,
my parents were faithful to each other the 17 years I lived with them, and for the 18 years since I escaped.
I have been faithfull for the 15 years 6 days I've been married and never cheated on any girfriends I had before my wife.
And I think my parents behaviour influenced me.

I think our parents behavior teaches us allot. Sometimes we're mimicking them and we're not even aware of it. My parents cheated on each other and my mom used us kids as a shield or alibi. Now all of us have had some kind of indiscretion in our lives. They say a girl chooses her mate to be like their father and so far I have had one hard go at trying to find a good man. I found one, once in my life and I didn't know how to accept him so he left. So the answer to that question is yes. BuT you have the choice of turning yourself around and not make the same mistakes. On the other hand it could make you hate those behaviors in your parents and you never become a cheater.

It might teach you more about committment and what marriage should entitle more. But no I wouldn't agree that is makes you cheat on your spouse. That is an individual choice.

It depends whether ur a good person or not...dun think it wld influence unless u think what they did is right. Think of it this way, wld u want ur partner to cheat on u?

yeah it might. because childrens behavior are patterned from their parents. if a parent beats up the other parent frequently, there's a good chance that the child will also beat up his/her spouse when the child gets married.

only if you let it. statistically, about 60% of men cheat at least once in their lifetime, and its 40something% for women. Its not totally uncommon, but YOU are in control of what you do. You can learn from other peoples mistakes, or let them drag you dowm, its up to you and how strong you choose to be.

If u feel that ur parents cheated, it amounts to ur censoring them for their conduct. It is strange what u considered to be bad for ur parents, u want to practice urself. Is it not absurd?
