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

- By

The trick is to understand what lies beneath

Say for example you always pursue powerful businessmen because your father was one and you had a great relationship with him, and he did with your mother. You have to consider what traits really made him a good father and partner. What did being a businessman really mean? It probably meant he had a sense of responsibility, that he was ambitious, that he was curious about the world and meeting and working with new people. That is what made him a good partner to your mother. Not the fact that he packed a briefcase every day and took business calls at all hours. Learn to differentiate between the surface traits and the inner workings of someone. Again, those positive associations with a businessman/ musician/ stay at home dad are so deeply engrained in you, they could jade your perspective on someone.
