I've seen some people morph into their parents (appearance wise) in just a few years. I'm always amazed at how much people change and how much time is taken for granted
As for the support from all sides... oh if only the world were perfect
Like you said SD upbringing does play a role. Personally, I wouldn't bother with a guy who relied so much on the opinon of his parents. I do think it's easier when everyone can get along but everyone not getting along certainly isn't a deal breaker...as long as everyone is civil. However, without civility toward one another, now that
would end a relationship for me. Thank goodness there's someone for everyone
