That was what happened to me. I thought i was so smart that I avoided the Freudian cliche of dating guys like my Father... only to go to therapy and realize I was dating my Mother, so to speak!! I'm writing about it for a newspaper and would love to talk to other women who have had this realization. And to hear what affect it had on your relationship, not necessarily bad...when I worked on it with a therapist I ended up getting along better with my Mother although I did break up with my boyfriend in the end.
