Meditating on why your partner looks like your parent of the opposite gender

Does your partner look like your parent of the opposite gender?

Freud said yes, your partner looks like your parent of the opposite gender.

If you’re a woman, does your male partner/ male other half look like your dad?

Meditating on why your partner looks like your parent of the opposite gender:

According to Freud, daughters fantasize about their fathers. They usually choose male partners/ spouses who look like their dads. This can be obvious when you have seen the woman, her male partner and her dad. I have seen at least one couple, where the woman’s male partner has facial features looking like her dad. The similarity was striking.

Freud named this phenomenon as the Oedipus Complex. Based on this argument, love and fantasy for one’s parent of the opposite gender means hate for the parent of the same gender.

If you’re a man, does your female partner/ female other half look like your mom?

Similarly, a single man is always attracted to women who look like his mother. The Oedipus Complex describes this phenomenon as the Oedipus Complex. As was mentioned above, love for the parent of the opposite gender implies hate for the parent of the same gender.

Why you hate your mother in dreams

If you’re a female, you’ll dream more bad dreams about your mother, than your father. Freud called this the Oedipus Complex. The offspring of one gender, used to be antagonistic (or jealous) towards their parent of the same gender. The child thinks that the parent of the same gender as them, is competing for attention with them, for the parent of the opposite gender. Thus, when the child is male, he will dislike his father, because he thinks father is competing with him, to get the attention of the mother.  Likewise, the female child thinks that her mother is competing with her, to get the attention of father.
