What my shrink told me about ending up with 'similar spouses/so's' is that it isn't that I am attracted to the same 'type' of people, or even that I purposely go after people that are so radically different than past SOs... the one constant between ALL partners/spouses... is ME.

And I bet any amount of money... Hairdog could talk about that very thing, in quite a pretty profound way, now that he's read No More Mr. Nice Guy, and really 'gets' it. I'd love to hear those thoughts, too, HD, so if you are so inclined... please share.
