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

Do you know you can break free?

Many women live out self-fulfilling prophesies in love by living out the same situation they saw their parents live out. If your mother and father were not emotionally intimate or very communicative, you might take on the mentality, “That’s just how it is between men and women” and accept that dynamic in your own relationship, assuming that there’s nothing better out there. What’s even more dangerous is that, you’re comfortable around the type of relationship you grew up around—that of your parents. So, when you get into a situation similar to your parents—maybe there is verbal abuse, maybe you’re not communicative, maybe you have to constantly keep on eye on him so he keeps it in his pants—you subconsciously take comfort in the situation. You’re familiar with this dynamic. But you have to know: it does NOT have to be the way it was with your parent’s. You’re giving up all of your power and you’re not giving your own abilities to analyze situations and people enough credit by believing things have to be the way they were with your parents.
