Wow, wow. I found it very accurate. I filled mine out before reading your Mad Libs, and I found both safety and stability very big for me as well.

I can see the whole getting married to resolve childhood conflict … sometimes I see staying married as resolving it as well (because, come on now, sometimes it sucks).

Holy cow!!
This is some good stuff!! It makes so much sense. Now to figure out how to apply this to finding a new guy that will actually be a better match… hmmmm… keep going and keep posting Britt, you’re helping a lot of us out here! And good luck with everything!

I read this earlier, decided to save it for later and now I’m too tired to think about it. And yet even giving it a little thought I can see at least some of the pattern.

Now what do I do about it?

if we get married to resolve childhood issues and i have managed to avoid marriage three times, wonder how fucked up that means me and my childhood are/were.

I believe that we marry to resolve childhood issues, too.

On another note, I have to say that nobody has a perfect childhood. As a student of history, I have found that history is mostly memory and that memory is subjective. Cultures, nations and *families* agree to propagate and collaborate their shared history. Often this process of collaboration results in a reflection of what they want the truth to be instead of completely reflecting the truth.

So, what I’m saying is Jared is a big, fat liar. Kidding.

Hmmm….interesting. I did the exercise. I need to mull it over a bit, but fascinatingly accurate indeed.

Interesting, considering I’ve admitted to marrying my mother the first time, and my father the second time. I always did like my dad more, although his passivity (and Steve’s) drive me crazy.

Did you come up with this on your own? Fantastic idea. Especially for those of us who are goal-oriented thinkers (definitely me) and maybe come off as bossy to our partners… Oops. It happens
