Here's another phenomenon I'd like to see discussed on the net.

A year ago a colleague at work suddenly announced that he was
divorcing his wife.  He had met another woman, and was now truly
in love.  Eventually I got to see his new woman.  She had a
strikingly strong resemblance to his wife.  He was surprised
when first told about the resemblance.

At that time my marriage was a mess and divorce was already
agreed upon.  I finally got separated 3 months ago and soon
started dating.  Last weekend I met a girl I really fell for.
Her name happened to be the same as my wife's.  Later a friend
of mine who knows both my wife and this girl remarked about the
similarity between the two.  I hadn't noticed.  But now that I
think about it, they have about the same shape.  Maybe there are
more similarities between the two than I realize.

If this is a common occurrence then perhaps there are hidden
"triggers" in a potential SO's looks that we are unaware of.  I
mean a certain type of nose or a certain curve of the spine.
Things that we are not aware of.

Possibly this happens only to people who have been with a
particular SO for a long time.

Anyone have similar experiences?
