Yes, it's a big myth that girls who's parents divorce or who don't grow up with a father have relationship problems. There are lots of girls that grow up to have successful relationships. Just b/c they were raised without a predominant father figure, doesn't mean they are all sluts or are do not trust. We tend to her about the unsuccessful/troubled girls; rather then the one's who succeed.
My parent's divorced when I was in my early 20's, prime dating years. I understand that if two people aren't happy together, they shouldn't have a relationship. My parent's divorce has actually taught me how to have a good relationship. I know the signs of an unhealthy relationship or partner and I get out.
Most of my relationships have last 2+ years. I hate causal dating.

My parent's divorced when i was 4. When I was 7 my brother and I went to live with our father and his second wife, which ended in divorce when I was 12, our father left us there and a week later our Mom found out and came to get us, I blamed myself for both divorces for a long time and never believed that anyone would want to marry me. I had some trust issues for a long time but will be celebrating my 19th wedding anniversary on March 1st. My husband whose parents where married for 52 yrs. before his mother passed away had a hard time understanding my trust issues but he was incredibly patient and eventually I realized that he wasn't going anywhere and I learned to let my guard down, we have a great relationship.

No, I haven't. I was 15 when my parents finally split, but there was a lot of emotional abuse in my earlier years. I did not have a good relationship with my father because he worked all the time and I didn't get to see him much. Im in a good relationship now, 5 months and going strong, and this is the longest for me. I do think that seeing how my parents argued, I was able to see "red flags" early on in bad relationships. Also I've seen how easily trust is broken (for good reason) so once trust is gone for me, I can't get it back. I think it has made me more "choosy" while looking for the right one, because I don't want to follow in my parents footsteps.

4 years or marriage and still going. My parents divorced when I was about 7.... and I never got to know my father. But from what I do know of him I don't like. And yeah that makes it hard to trust any man, or want to let myself be hurt. But when you find someone you're ready to commit yourself to due to the fact that he's someone special in your life, the relationship can be successful.
