So before we start talking about relationships I think you have to understand what makes people tick. Everyone brings some baggage to a relationship.
My husband & I were born in New York City and attended all New York schools up through and including college. We went from living with our parents to living with each other(of course marriage came first in those days). We married very young,actually we really grew up together. We had our first child exactly one year after we were married. Our roles were very clearly defined for us by our parents and society. Ira was the provider, the bread winner, and I took care of the house and the children. We had children because that was the thing to do. All of our friends did the same and i'm proud to say that we are all still happily married to our original spouses( 8 couples) In those days ,your success in life was measured by having a family and then providing for them. This held true for both sexes! To be continued...
