Healthy Relationships Support Group
No relationship is perfect. A long-term relationship requires constant effort to understand each other, fix misunderstandings, solve problems and continue to grow as both individuals change and evolve. How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
Anyone else find that the people they choose to date and become involved with tend to remind them of one or both of their parents? Not physically but personality-wise, intellectually, emotionally?
I sure do. My Vietnamese honey was very much like my dad, nice and stable but kinda dry in the emotional department, practical, technical, boring, surface-oriented, doesn't like to go too deep.
This red-hot chili pepper from Dominican Republic and Russian-Polish girl I was into both reminded me of my mother, fiercely independent, temperamental, extremely intense, driven, workaholic.
I don't know what the hell I'm looking for at this point. Maybe someone somewhere in between? Maybe someone a little more dreamy and artistic but still has some common sense?

I do NOT want to create nor end up in a relationship like that. I want to be in a warm, loving association where we can talk freely about anything and everything without fear of being criticized by the other, where neither one of us feels we have to be right all the time, where we agree on what's most important in life and let the little stuff go, allow each other a lot of leeway to be the people we want to be, where, contrary to the belief of the movie Love Story, love means we DO have to say "I'm sorry" sometimes, and we say it readily, and where we're openly physically affectionate.
Mistakes happen but I don't believe you should have to apologize for them, it's what makes us naturally human.
You say sorry when you deliberately offend somebody which obviously means you are a disrespectful ass.
Why do you feel the need to identify womens' nationalities?
I've noticed this in particular with your "Vietnamese Honey".
