The Secret of Love: 10 Simple Steps to Finding the Right Relationship

Why do we repeat the same mistakes and make the same bad choices? The answer is simple. Very often, we go for what we recognize at a very deep, almost subconscious level, what feels familiar … and not what is good for us. This kind of response is usually based on an early experience. For example, a woman who is constantly drawn to overbearing, powerful men may be reflecting her early experiences with a close family member who was extremely dominant. As a result, she is drawn to men who exert a repressive influence over her and make her feel weak and insignificant. A man may constantly be attracted to women who are replicas of a controlling or manipulative mother or close female relative.
