Romantic relationships often carry familiar emotional rhythms. Many people find themselves drawn to similar partners or repeating patterns they consciously hoped to avoid. These experiences can feel confusing — especially when someone is actively trying to create something different.
In this guest feature, I’m highlighting the work of Morgan Lloyd, LCSW, who thoughtfully explores why these relationship patterns tend to recur. Her article looks at how early attachment experiences and emotional familiarity can shape attraction and influence partner choice in subtle but powerful ways.
Rather than focusing only on surface-level behaviors, her perspective examines the deeper relational templates that guide connection — often outside of awareness. It’s a reflective, insight-oriented approach that invites greater understanding of how patterns form and how change becomes possible.
