I was just wondering this. And also, how do you think your parents relation with each other effects your choice of partner and the type of romantic relationship that you have today?
I've been starting to think about this myself, since I tend to be with and fall in love with men, who doesn't really give me that much attention. Men, who clearly are as fine with me as without. Then I started to think about my dad. Sweet and loving at times, but most of the time just abscent minded, always working, a distant carachter.
And I was thinking of his and my mothers relationship. How he never encouraged her, but so often putted her down. How I didn't see him behaving affectionate towards her one single time during my childhood. Am I now reliving this as an adult? If so, how can one do to free oneself from a family pattern?
