Do Girls Marry their Dads?
posted in Frenzied Daddy, conversation, fathers |Is it true that girls grow up to marry their dads? To look for, in a partner, similar qualities to what they had in their fathers?
I compare myself to my Dad In Law, Rich, and I see some similarities- we both make sacrifices to “take care of” our families, we’re both engaged with our spouses (and kids). We’re both “family guys” – our aspiration is to take care of our families, not to make a million dollars or rule the world. Of course, there are some differences. He mumbles was in the Navy, for instance.
If this is true- what qualities would the TT or the DQ see in me that she would want to have in a partner? And what qualities do I have in me that I wouldn’t want them to think are appropriate? I don’t (seriously) beat them, for instance. What about you? What do you see in your women and their fathers, and what do you see in yourself?
On reflection, I don’t think this is the first time I’ve contemplated this.
