H doctor Judith Wright explains in the american Marie Claire that women choose their partner based on the childhood experiences they had. How we were raised, what features we admired, and what flaws we saw in the our father, is very likely to look for and to your partner.
Even if a woman had a bad relationship with her father, he’s going to find somebody that looks (exterior and interior), only to be corrected and to atone in some way.
Wright said “Can you believe that dating someone who has nothing in common with your dad, however the mind even unconsciously “hang” more easily in people who make something… familiar.
But the same is not happening with your lover will choose someone, as he will have completely different characteristics from her father.
Confirming this pattern, Jennifer Harman, professor of psychology at the University of Colorado, added, and other features which link the partner with the our father.
She mentioned that many women have grown up without their father, then they tend to have relationships with older men in order to make up for the gap.
A similar thing also happens for those that have been brought up by his grandfather, or stepfather.
According to various surveys, in fact, as many have always had a close and healthy relationship with their father is very likely to find the perfect husband and live happy.
On the other hand, Linda Nielsen, a professor of psychology at Wake Forest University “in North Caroline points out the following:
“The good relationship between father and daughter has as a result, it’s good for the health of women, who are at less risk from diseases, such as depression, anorexia, and the deformity of the body”.
However the ideal would be to see the relationship with our partner as something new, as well as the many similarities and comparisons can damage a relationship.
