How did you handle the beginning stages of your relationship with your husband, when you were dating? What steps did you and he take? Did he believe you right away or did just witnessing their behavior make him realize the truth?

Sorry for late reply.  Just now seeing this.

My husband and I did not interact with our parents much when we were dating.

We both synched in not clicking with our parents. 

We focused more on what we wanted our future to be like and we both agreed early on that we did not respect our parents or viewed their marriage as any sort of model that we would aim to follow.

That understanding meant we got each other.

Essentially, it was two scapegoats finding each other!

Yes my mom also let me do whatever.   I was not the valued child so.

I chose partners that understood I was not going to have children and did not get along with my family very good.

I broke up with two guys ever the rest broke up with me.

1- money credit problems he was not working on and I was really really driven to improve my lot in life financially.

And 2 - a complete mama's boy who LOVED my family and completely "got " them.

Nope. 

Currently I am in a long term relationship that is having real difficulties.  Family / psychology/ attachment styles
