According to psychological research, we marry people that are similar to our parents. Or our siblings or our oldest friends. Why is this the case? Who would want to marry their mom? Right?
We always retreat back to what is familiar with us. If one has grown up in abusive household, chances are the household that they raise will be abusive as well. If one has only ever dated assholes, chances are that they will keep dating assholes.
It's not always conscious, these urges, these feelings of safety we have with what is familiar with us until we find ourselves caught up in the same cycle. Always going back to the significant other that constantly manipulated you. Or still loving and living with our parents despite the pain they may have caused us.
