My dad is super negative, opinionated, won't listen to other peoples thoughts, etc. Really not a happy or nice person. Growing up, he was okay, and people on the outside thought he was great. He was at times I guess, but I don't have too many fond memories.</p> <p>DH is not like that at all. He is really laid back and happy. Him and my dad do get along well though, I think because DH can easily ignore controversial things my dad says for the sake of getting along with him, while my siblings and I can't always let his rude comment slide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-441049 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:41:10 +0000 prettylizy 441049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he is so much like my dad. Strong, determined, caring, pig headed, tempermental... the good and the bad. I joke that DH and I work so well because his temper doesn't scare me since I grew up with a man with a big temper. It a matter of knowing how to snuff the flame instead of feed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-441024 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:32:27 +0000 yoursilverlining 441024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In many ways I did marry my dad – which is a very good thing! Both my dad and my husband are intensely devoted to their wives and families, are honest and hardworking guys, and are always there to help out a friend or loved one. They are smart, love to read, are great cooks and they both have a dry sense of humor (which I have as well).</p> <p>My dad is super handy around the house while my husband is not handy at all…so my dad still likes to give us a hand with fixing things around the house; thankfully!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440971 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:14:35 +0000 Mrs. Bee 440971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no mr bee is the opposite of my dad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440965 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:13:11 +0000 Alivoo01 440965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. Hubby shares some characteristics of my dad, but I'm my dad's mini-me so I think two of us like my dad would be mean we'd butt heads a lot. haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440353 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:44:24 +0000 Smurfette 440353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In some ways yes and some ways no. My Dad is an awesome husband and Dad, so if I did marry him, I wouldn't be disappointed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440344 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:38:49 +0000 erwoo 440344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. :'( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440342 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:37:24 +0000 erwoo 440342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Yeah, I hate it when that happens, especially when we're already on the road and then I get so upset and don't even want to go out anymore. Sucks... thankfully, it's not often but when it does happen it's such an awful feeling. My dad has gotten better too so I'm hoping my husband too...but A LOT sooner than later. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440259 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:29:57 +0000 sarac 440259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I married a man with the good qualities of my father, and who mostly improves upon the qualities that I didn't like in him. </p> <p>My father died a few months ago, and now I'm thinking about all the great things about him I missed. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440239 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:17:44 +0000 hellobeeboston 440239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Married the opposite of my Dad basically!</p> <p>Luckily they get along great though! Actually - it's probably because they are so different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440213 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:47:56 +0000 fuzzypeaches 440213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally married my dad! In all the good ways and all the bad ways :p I guess my chaotic disorganized self just needs and OCD other half! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440192 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:31:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 440192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I married the opposite of my dad...

DH says I'm a lot like his mom though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440102 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:06:33 +0000 T-Mom 440102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely did not marry my dad, thank goodness. However , I think I am becoming my dad.. And my mom for that matter! Gah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440085 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:45:32 +0000 cokiezombie 440085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny you asked that... my DH always tell me that I married him because he is so like my dad - responsible, loving, caring and sometimes very anal and stubborn. Now that he mentioned it, I do think I did.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440062 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:12:25 +0000 lemondrop 440062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooooo, they are both great men and the best fathers, but that is where the similarities end. I am exactly like my dad. My husband often tells me to quit being Geoffrey :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440059 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:07:21 +0000 erwoo 440059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: @MamaMoose: I wish I married my mom too! She's more relaxed about things and doesn't get upset so easily over silly things like my dad does. In some ways I'm kind of like my dad too but I think I'm more of a mix of my parents and not more like one or the other. My husband is also a lot like his mom - both a combination (my dad and his mom) that drives me up the wall sometimes. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440056 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:03:59 +0000 erwoo 440056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: Wow, that's wild. At least you have some sort of closure as to why your father was the way he was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440037 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:23:54 +0000 MamaMoose 440037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: I married my mom too! My husband an my mom are so much alike. But I'm exactly like my dad. My parents have been blissfully married for 37 years so the formula seems to work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440019 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:46:55 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 440019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: As a kid I didn't really know any different. Now that I'm older I see how messed up it was but to me that's just the way it was. To this day I still keep who my dad was a secret, at this point it's best to let sleeping dogs lie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-440013 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:39:41 +0000 SweetMamaM 440013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't used to think so but now I think I did. Both curse in traffic, take far more risks when driving, both aren't huge fans of rugby (almost a sin in NZ) but like fishing, both seem introverted but holy heck when they decide to come out of their shells!<br /> I hope that DH continues to be like my dad when we have kids; especially when they are young as my dad was a pretty hands on dad :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-439989 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:26:44 +0000 Bao 439989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, almost the complete opposite of my dad actually </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-439985 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:25:20 +0000 shopaholic 439985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>emphatically NO! Thank goodness! DH is the complete opposite of my dad. He's patient, easy-going, a planner &amp; scheduler, and always happy. Total and complete opposite of my dad. whew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-439972 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:18:03 +0000 CarrieLouWho 439972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I joke that I married my mom - DH &amp; my mom are both introverts, organized, super responsible, only have a few close friends, very loyal/committed, like sports/group activities.<br /> My dad is an extrovert, friends with everyone, generally less responsible, not great with commitment, not into sports or organized groups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-439968 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:13:35 +0000 DillonLion 439968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. And that's a good thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-marry-your-dad#post-439963 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 13:05:20 +0000 rawrasaur 439963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hah, in a lot of ways I married both my mom and dad. My DH has a lot of characteristics of both of them. </p>
