Quote: What’s the difference? My X and I had a mother-son relationship, psychologically speaking. This killed the passion. Oddly enough, even though my X left me because he felt he pursued and I never responded, he did not pursue me in a way that felt sexually compelling to me. He was tentative and not confident about it. The new guy shows me his need in a way that the X never did and we relate as one adult to another. So maybe it was just bad chemistry. But in many of the stories that I read here, where the man is HD and the woman is LD, I suspect that a mother-son dynamic exists.
I feel in my gut that this is so true. And when I read something like this, all of my optimism about ever reaching this level with my BF goes right out the window. Thanks for this excellent insight, and do keep posting and sharing your experiences with us. Considering how much pain we're in, we're a fun bunch.
