You mean that the lack of demonstration or overall feeling of love between a couple in your youth impedes you to connect this way ?<p>I grew up in a &#x27;parental couple&#x27; too. Lots of my friends have parents who had troubled relationships to say the least. It does impact you. It also makes me wonder which couple ever had a long tender and motivating feeling staying together. I find culture makes people run in circle for something few understand but it&#x27;s too late you settled.
