But wait... she did grow up with it. Just not with her mom. Her dad showed all the cuddliness she could want, right? So why would she be driven to choose a man that's like her mom?
That's right. Both my father and my maternal grandmother were present and cuddly in my life. I often had the thought that my 2bx could have been my brother. That is because he was cold like my mother and ineffective like my father. What I want is a guy who is warm like my father and bold like my mother. It's kind of interesting that GP actually reminded me of my grandmother because he treated me like a pet but was also street-smart and tough like her. FSG seems much more like a peer. For instance, GP always insisted on opening doors for me. FSG was opening doors for me but then didn't so I just stood by his car waiting and he was all like "Remember I told you I was just opening doors to get you." and I was like "Taking me for granted already, huh. That's not going to fly." So then we were both totally cracking up but he opened the door anyways.
