How is your relationship with your father supposed to have some effect with future relationships?

Just wondering because I don't speak with mine by choice. He's a complete alcoholic and I just dont like being around him.How is your relationship with your father supposed to have some effect with future relationships?
Sometimes they say that a girl without a strong father figure may go for an older man as a partner to replace the father she did not have or that as her father never gave her an indication of how she ought to be treated by men that she will let men treat her badly.





These are just theories though and not a fact for all women in this situation.How is your relationship with your father supposed to have some effect with future relationships?
You will be looking for a boyfriend with a fatherly attitude or you will seek fatherly love from your boyfriend in some cases but it depends upon a person.Or you might be allergic seeing your boyfriend or future husband drinking the way your father drinks.';you seem to drink like my father'; like that.
Same here =]


yea, my aunt once saiid that id never get married cause i wont trust men, which is a complete lie cause i have no problems. I think she just said it to piss me off =P, its based on the idea that every man you see, you should see part of your dad in him, so if you hate your dad, you hate men, but it doesnt work like that so dont worry =D
