my parents


Question Posted Tuesday July 3 2007, 1:57 pm

I am a little concerned about my parents. It seems that most of the romance in their relationship is gone, and I have a feeling that this might lead to something unpleasant in the future.

Some things just plain bother me: I have never in my life seen them kiss. I only saw them hug 5-6 times in my 16 year old life. Mind you, my parents aren't very romantic people, and I don't think they never do cute couple things because they are too conservative to show off their affection in public. Some of my friends at first thought that my parents are divorced. I mean if we go somewhere, my dad always walks next to my brother, and my mom next to me. Unlike most couples who walk together, holding hands, and their kids walk in front of them. At the movies they never sit next to each other. Nor at the dinner table, even at a friend's house.

They don't hate each other. They rarely ever fight. My dad works all day, from home, but he never has time to talk to us. My mom is very irratable, and a lot of things my dad does annoys her. Like him chewing loudly, yelling into the phone, stomping, not showering immeditately after he runs, etc.

The only romantic thing they do frequently (about once a week, sometimes more) is drink wine together in the living room, talking. Oh ya, they do have sex once in a while. =X

Should I be worried? Or is this normal? Do you think they will get divorce sometime in the future? What should I do to make their romance alive, or should I do anything?

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do in this situation. You love your parents and they love you, but whether or not they love each other, well, that's for them to figure out.

I wish it was easier than that. I wish you could influence their relationship, but ultimately, it comes down to how they feel and what they want.

Try not to worry about it too much. It's out of your control. I sincerely hope it works out well for you, but if it doesn't, remember that it's about them, not you. It does affect you, but it's not something you can influence.

No it is completely normal.
My parents barely talk, but they are still together, I know they don't have any affection for eachother.
Just don't worry about it.
Everything will be okay.
:D
I hope I helped.
