Have you found yourself embracing the tried and true techniques of your forebears, or do you actively shun unhelpful patterns you’ve recognised from growing up?

From the little details to broader philosophies on dating, marriage and sharing a life with someone, we want to know how the relationships modelled by the people who raised you have shaped the way you navigate love and romance as an adult.
