Often what happens when a child is expected to eat the spinach anyway even if they don’t like it and it makes them sick is they are trained to end up with that kind of person in their lives. The person doesn’t even realize how they may even choose this partner because it is familiar. And often they are appreciated at first because they fit what the spinach person wants.

A person that wants all the control and to have THEIR needs be a priority always looks for that good guy type person that gives in and constantly pleases the other persons feelings and emotional needs.
