Do we choose men who are like our fathers?

Hmmm --- let me think now --- my father was a mechanical engineer who put himself through college, my husband is a mechanical engineer who put himself through college. My mother and father dated for 5 years before they married, my husband and I dated for 8 years before we married. Because of my mother's depression, my father learned about relationships and the importance of talking, because of my depression, my husband has become savvy about relationships and the importance of talking. My father was a reliable loving man who strived to provide a better life for his family, my husband, well, it goes without saying. [Wink]
