Psychologists know, that there are 3 types, or rather stereotypes on pur opposite gender in relationships: the “father” / the “mother”, the “partner” and the “son” / the “daughter”. The names pretty much speak for themselves and once you understand what “sort” of partner you have, you can predict his/her reactions, behavior and understand better what he or she anticipates from you.

The father / mother type is a natural born parent, but in a relationship they take more initiative, responsibility,  they tend to take the role of caring and protective side when problems arise. They don’t don’t mind giving more than they recieve back, be it presents, care or attention and they show a lot of understanding and patience when their beloved does something he / she disapproves of. They are more forgiving as well, in general.

The  son / daughter type tend to be more depending, they develop dependence on their parters easily, and expect the other half to take care of everything for them. Thy would expect to get more warmth than they give and often act childishly and immaturely when it comes down to solving serious issues.

The parter type expects equal treat. They always “measure” if they have received as much as they “gave” and prefer  balance and split responsibility.  They would not forgive unless their partner previously forgave them for something and they would not take the blame unless they are really guilty. People who belong to the “partner” type are independant and often comfiden; rarely develop abnormal dependence and are very open minded.

How to figure out what’s your beloved’s type? A good parameter could be their family background. It’s more common for people who lived long enough with their parents and did not leave the nest at the early years of their youth to be of the “daughter” / “son” type, as they were used to getting attention from their old folks and would  struggle to turn the structure up-side-down and take the leading role. Naturally, there are exceptions. There are many more parameters, too many to name a few, so I’d suggest to use common sense and see how your partner reacts in different situations, does he take the leading role, or does he prefer to be led?

    Haha, if my gf would read this she will break down. She is the partner type, as she tries to equiparate everything. Not the good way, though.

    The thing is, I belong to the three categories =P

    I have lots and lots of patience. I forgive a lot as well. I also developed dependency from her, so if she feels bad, I feel bad too. AND, while I don’t “measure” everything, I expect equal treat on the most important things (like, not cheating on the other person whatever the reason) and I am very open minded.

    Well, that’s it, we fight a lot but we love each other a lot too =P
    We’re a strange couple…

    I guess I’ll have to admit that I’m the mother type. I usually don’t mind giving more than I get back, and I’m very forgiving. Close friends always berate me for being so much of a “martyr”, but be that as it may, as long as I’m happy. Right?
