How Your Relationship With Your Dad Affects Your Future Relationships
Are you super distrustful of men, always assuming that they will hurt you or disappoint you? Or do you give your relationships your all and are crushed when your partner disappoints you? Both of these tendencies often have the same common root – your relationship with your dad.
Our fathers are our first male role models. For better or worse, our father’s presence, or lack thereof, is foundational in shaping our perception of men, the way they interact with women, and the types of men we’re drawn to romantically.

Here are some signs to look for in your romantic life that may indicate that your relationship with your father is having an impact on your relationships.
