How it affects your relationships
People respond to this parenting style in one of two drastically different ways. You may crave guidance in a partner that you didn’t get from your parents. So, you might end up dating a lot of controlling men—men who want to mold you to be their perfect partner, from telling you what to wear to advising you on your career. You may, however, go the other way and resist someone who in any way tries to possess you or tell you what to do. If a partner so much as asks that you text him if you’re going to be later for dinner, you react as if he is being a tyrant.
