[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easiest way to figure out what kind of husband/partner a man will be:

What kind of husband and partner is his dad?

There are exceptions of course, especially when so many guys are raised by single moms, but it’s a pretty good rule.[/quote]

THIS!!!   He may live his single life differently, but when he gets married and has a family, he will likely fall back into patterns he saw in his house growing up.

In DH's case, he went from fairly independent single man to expecting his wife to run the household entirely while he concentrated on work and if he did one thing, he wanted applause and a parade.  Because that's how his dad and mom did it.  He did a couple more things than his dad ever did (who didn't lift a finger), and thought that made him an amazingly "equal" partner.  [/quote]

Great way to become a bitter old lady.  No thanks, I'm good.[/quote]

+2 I agree with this. It also drives a mid life crisis with some men too if unresolved. I dated someone whose father was an alcoholic and it was like he fought so hard to be the opposite it was difficult to imagine any other type of extreme or neutral existence. It didn’t mean he is a dealbreaker for everyone just for me because his overreaction wasn’t complimentary to the issues I came with and worked through. Or another example is the father who abandoned their son. Black women face a very complicated in that respect, as do black men for other reasons. It can get messy, but it is sad too.[/quote]
