Today, a friend pointed out to me that my girlfriend of 5 years looks a bit like my mom. She does, and I can't get it out of my head. FML

You know what, Oedipus was a happy man. Well, until the part where he blinded himself. But seriously, it's pretty common to marry someone like your opposite-sex parent. Unless it truly makes you uncomfortable, I wouldn't worry.

There is a lot of people who date someone that has similar traits or characteristics of their parents subconsciously. As long as you love each other, that's all that matters.

Freud would have a field day on you ?

sounds like some oedipus shit eight there

I'm actually pretty similar to my boyfriend's mom. He just doesn't think about it too much and we're fine.

So now you got 2 moms, no one got 2 moms.. You are unique.... Look at the bright side....

It's just Freudian psychology to be attracted to someone with similar traits as your mother. No worries OP

Well looks like that relationship is over

in 5 years Gf starts behaving like moms too.. Tell your mom that she look like her, she will love it.

I feel for you OP. I dated a girl that I didn't realize was that similar to my mother until we were at a family gathering one day and my mother pointed out that my gf at the time and her had the EXACT same jacket. Then I realized that superficially at least...they were very similar looking. Shortish...long black hair. Couldn't get it out of my head. I'm pretty sure that was the start of the downturn to our relationship. We broke up a few months after.
