Did you marry your father?

[Willbearsmom]

You know how they say that girls marry guys who have a ton of similarities to their dads? Is this true for you?

For me it totally is but I didn't notice it until my husband said "Do you realize how much I have incommon with your dad?" And then when I started to look at it, it's true! They both like and dislike a lot of the same things. They are very different in someways too but there are deffinitely more similarities!

I totally didn't marry my father, my sister did. My dad and brother in law go fishing every weekend and go to sporting events and go on vacations together all the time, it's more like my brother in law married my father. My husband could not be more different than my father.

[H.Starr]

No, not at all.
My husband is a LOT like my stepfather, though.
But strangely, my dad and my father in law are practically the same person!

[allisonb]

Not really, except that they are both in the military. My husband is much funnier and more communicative than my dad. They are both great dads though!

[harrisjm]

nope not at all, or like my step-dad. he's very different from both of them. i think he's more like my grandpa but not to much . but thats who i lived with most my life. so thats why i think it is what father figure you had in your life.

My hubby is a lot like my dad - similar hobbies, likes, dislikes, general attitude. I didn't realize it while we were dating or even while we were engaged, but once we got married, I could totally see my dad in my husband (and vice versa). And while the idea COULD be kinda creepy (j/k ;)), I have an AMAZING father and I know my hubby will be just as great a daddy as mine!!!

The only characteristics I can see in my husband and father is they are very giving people and want to help others..and they have the same occupation. If you really look hard enough, anyone can resemble someone else in their attitude, goals, morals, traits, etc. It is kind of like your horoscope...you can read it and make it relate if you want to.

I SO did not marry my father. My dad is all about the yard work, "playing with sawdust" he likes to build things, watching DIY and can fix just about anything. My darling husband is a self proclaimed Geek. He is Mr. Fix-it in the computer sense. Knows enough to get by about fixing something in a car, does yard work when it needs it badly enough and unless it comes with instructions on how to build it, forget it. It's really cute actually.

did i marry my father, heck no. my dh is a better husband and father, then my dad ever was. dh has never raised a hand to me,doesn't ignore me, or doesn't treat me like a peice of furnature. my father did that for so long, i swore i would never marry my dad.

dh is nothing romotly like my father.

[mommy42boys]

In a lot of ways, yes. My dad and my husband are both very generous and kind. And they both are very stubborn and hard headed when they want to be. But they are completely different when it comes to what they like. My dad likes country music and my husband like head banging crap. Josh likes hockey and dad likes football. Their personalities are a lot alike but they do not really share any interests.

[charliesmommy]

My husband is nothing like my father. Thank God!

[sophiaandiansmom]

They look similar, but my husband is a MUCH better dad and husband. He makes me realize that men can be nurturers too.

[freckles]

LOL Interesting replies! I did not know my dad that well to say, but from what I gather my husband is different.

[ra11en]

I never knew my father, my mother divorced him when I was 18 months old and I never saw him again. I had 5 step fathers, and my husband is nothing like any of them. Not even a little bit.

I do hope that our daughter finds a man like my husband to love her, cherish her, and build a life with her. She would be a very lucky woman, just like I am. :D

[jocelynmadsen]

Did I marry my father? God, I hope not! My husband hopes not either! My biological father must have been OK when he married my mom, because they were married for 19 years, but he kind of got wiggier as time went on until eventually everyone could see it, and then he flipped out and they got a big ugly divorce and he alienated both sides of my family and eventually his new family as well. My husband and I love having philosophical discussions about things that have no right answer, and when something does have a right answer, you can bet one of us is online looking it up so we know who gets to do the party dance! One thing that holds us together a lot is that we both had crazies for biological fathers and had to learn about life later and somewhat harder than an average person. Our philosophical discussions teach us a give and take that our fathers never displayed with our mothers, so we are learning to be better parents together, and that makes us happy.

My husband is my father's twin ugh so annoying sometimes

[tonya williams]

I did NOT marry someone like my father. i dated someone like him and realized how unhappy i was.hopefully my girls will marry someone like their dad

[momofahunter]

yes, in some ways. Both hubby and dad like the same hobbies and such. But in other ways no. Hubby is much calmer, more laid back. Which I am sooo thankful for. I love my dad very much, but I can only handle one of him in my life. :)

[Zack_Jenn]

Nope, but according to the rest of my family I totally married my Grandpa. As time goes by I am starting to see what they mean!

[Newmama22]

I didn't marry my father or step father.My hubby is different from them in a lot of ways. Yeah they have some things in common, but that's not hard to understand seeing as they raised me and my personality is somewhat based on theirs. So it makes sense that my hubby would be like them. What attracted him to me may have come from them ya know?

[Newmom!]

They are built similar, I once pinched the butt of a man getting a coat from the closet at my parents house, then skidaddled out of the room realizing I wasn't positive if it was my husband or my dad (fortunatly it was my husband) :-)

It's because, girls see their fathers as good examples. They marry guys with similarities to their father because they want their kids to grow up with a father they think are kind and nice, just like how their father raised them. Girls have this standard that the man they will live forever with are as good as their father.
