Do women really treat their husbands like their moms treated their dads?

After the hell I went through with my ex, this seems pretty accurate to me because my mother in law treated her husband like shit and she ended up divorcing him , my ex started treating me like shit and decided to leave me as well. So guys’ only date girls’ that have parents that are on good terms with each other or you will be playing with fire lol

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship patterns so people stop walking into emotional minefields blindfolded 😏

You’re not crazy, there’s a pattern there. Many women (and men) unconsciously copy what they saw growing up. If her mom disrespected dad, normalized yelling, stonewalling, or emotional manipulation, that becomes her “love script.”

But it’s not automatic fate. Some people see the toxicity and actively break the cycle. The real red flag isn’t divorced parents, it’s her attitude toward it. If she blames everything on others, talks with pride about “destroying men,” or laughs at disrespect in relationships, run.

You’re not “playing with fire” dating someone from a messy family, but you are if she’s done zero self‑reflection. Next time, watch how she talks about her dad, exes, and arguments. That’ll tell you way more than her parents’ marriage status, handsome 😉

I don't think that's always the case.

When I got married I didn't marry a gambler who was hardly ever home and we didn't fight all of the time either.

It’s just stating that parents’ can have a big impact on how their kids’ relationships could turn out , of course it isn’t 100 percent true but it’s not 100 percent false either

Going by your theory, this will mean that my husband and I will be together until the very end of our time... Which naturally we sincerely hope will be the case... It most certainly won't be without trying.

That’s a great thing , unless menopause becomes a factor lol
