Do You Choose Men Like Your Father? Why That Can Be Good & Bad

- By

The reverse is true too…

You might have positive associations with what your father was on the surface. Maybe he was a wonderful, emotionally and physically present and responsible father. You might constantly seek out men who did what your dad did for a living, or who had the same types of interests or came from a similar background. And you might find yourself constantly disappointed. Those positive associations can be so strong though, that sometimes you may stay with a man much longer than you should, because you’re not seeing him for who he is. You want so badly to see your father in him—the good things you expected to be in this man—that you wait for them, or even imagine they are there.
