Are we all really just looking to date/marry a version of our mother or father?

It's the opposite, at least for me. Mine were emotionally negligent; several times when I still lived with my parents (as a young child but also as an over 18er), my mom would tell me "my job is to feed you, and that's it, nothing else." I don't want to marry someone who truly thinks that's the only responsibility they have as a parent. I think I've taken on all the parts of my parents that are good, but I want my future life partner to be good through and through. Most importantly I'd like them to NOT be emotionally repressed bc that shit's just toxic and tiring
