I don't know, I haven't been around these forums long, so I'm not sure if this has already been discussed... but I've seen a few responses on some threads lately about seeking out a spouse that was similar to your own father. And, of course, I have heard that adage before then. Usually this is said in dysfunctional type relationships. So how true is it??
Well, I definitely didn't "marry my father." Not when my marriage was good, and not when it got bad. They are no where near alike. At all. I'm starting to think maybe I should have married someone like my father though, ha!
So what does it mean when you do NOT marry someone like your father? And when you do? I might do a little digging as I'm now curious, but figured so many of you on here are so intelligent in these areas, so I'd like to hear the theories!
And then also, of course, say if you feel you "married your father" or did not. Subconsciously or consciously.
(oh, and does this adage apply to men marrying their mothers, too? I'm not sure).
