I had to be away from the computer for a couple days and was unable to respond. You are right on target and I certainly agree that I would have to leave such a relationship for I am rebellious to a degree!!!

I have just met a woman like that in the bereaved group.
She is angry now at her deceased husband of 42 years, because "he took away her ability to function as a grownup."
I told her to take responsibilty for herself, she gave him the right if she stuck it out that long.

Yeah, I would not last in a relationship like that!
Too rebellious... AND it really chafes me when things start to lean toward me being more of the mother figure... I rebel then too! Get yer own dinner dang it!

father/daughter
I was married to a man that was very controlling like this for 20 years, but I understand from my kids the role reversed when he married another woman. Strange isn't it.

Most of the men in my life...
have been looking for a mother rather than a daughter. I hate that role in an adult relationship, take your pick, I can be your mother or your lover...isn't it about time to grow up?

Sophistie- I agree with you that in many married relationships, one of the
partners ends up being treated like someone who is "maturity challenged". I may be biased, but I think that men fall into this category at least as often as women. There are many women who think that all men are stupid. And it would not make any difference if they were married to someone with a Nuclear Engineering Degree from MIT.
I think that it is often a generational thing, it runs in families. As a mother thinks, her daughter (and grandaughter) will probably follow suit. The way men are portrayed in todays entertainment industry doesn't help either.
And it is partly our own fault. I know an old guy who says "when I was a kid, a man was a man and those who weren't respected him". There are getting to be fewer men who are worthy of respect.

It is very difficult to find perfect balance in father and daughter or father and son relationship .I have faced such problem with my grown up daughter and sons . It is a case of communication gap when there is lack of understanding between two adults .
