If you think that you and your future mother-in-law are very similar, you are not wrong. It is known that people look for a partner who has similar or the same personality traits as their parents. And your loved one sees in you a resemblance to his mother.
Sigmund Freud countless times during his career upset the public with some of his findings and one of these was the theory of the Oedipus complex, which assumes that a male child hates his father and is morbidly jealous of him, his love feelings but subconsciously directs to the mother, with whom he wants to stay forever and even marry. If his father is going to stand in his way, he should be even ready to kill.
Some modern scientists are critical of Freud – they do not consider him a scientist because he allegedly did not use the scientific research process in his research and they are his extreme findings. And even if the idea of v bizarre, there is obviously some truth in it, which proven by modern research.
On a dating site eHarmony did a survey in which male participants were asked about their partner's personality. They found that ⅔ of men are in a relationship with a woman who is similar to their mother.
They came to these conclusions by being designed personality tests, with which they psychologically analyzed a man, his partner and mother. The results showed that partners and mothers are most similar in degree tolerance, empathy and loyalty.
Relationship expert Rachael Lloyd claims that the results are not surprising, as people are generally looking for partners who have the same qualities they have – and these were formed on the basis of their relationships with their parents. And mother is to most people the most important person in the early stages of life, so it's no wonder that men choose women who remind them of their mothers.
This study clearly demonstrates that the earliest life experiences influence the what decisions people will make in later years and whom they will love!
