Now what happens if they have a fantastic relationship with their father but a bad one with their mother???
I've been dating one of these types recently and I've been wondering what side effects "mummy" issues are likely to present?
I've known a few where the mother was absent and it made them incredibly willing to please, insecure, and they rushed into playing house/making the relationship into something serious very quickly. At first you think you've hit the jackpot, but then it dawns on you if you're not looking for something serious you need to go somewhere else. I think a lot of it has to do with the lack of stability growing up and the overwhelming desire to fill a traditional gender role.
