Take a look at a great article on how parents affect your love life. I am one of the experts feature in the article. Parents effect not only your relationship behavior, but your partner choices, how you behave under stress and what you are willing and unwilling to put up with in a relationship. Kudos to sassybean.com for broaching this subject.
The article suggests you look at healthy couples for new role models, and that is a great start. And to definitively break the relationship mold created for you by your parents, you have to do much more work than that. This is one thing I work on extensively with clients, as redesigning your emotional life™ and is seldom navigated successfully without support.
