We all have heard the saying Daddy Issues, usually referring to a girl who lacks attention from her dad, grew up with out a dad or like in Neo-Freudian psychology, the Electra complex, as proposed by Carl Gustav Jung, is a girl’s psychosexual competition with mother for possession of father. However, is there such a thing as Mommy Issues and do you have them?
Well, according to Freudian there is such a thing as Mommy Issues called the Oedipus complex, which is the theory that every man secretly wants to kill his dad and have sex with his mom. We know, really creepy huh? Well, here are some signs to look for and see if you do have mommy issues.
Are you over the age of 23 and still live at home with your parents?
Dude, if you are still living at home with your parents or just your mom, it is time for you to grow up and leave already. No woman wants to date a guy still living at home. We don’t care what your excuse is!
Do you wish your mother told you I love you?
Man up! You be the first one to say I love you to her. This will give you practice so when you end up falling in love with your future wife you know how to say it more often.
Do you run things by your mother and/or tell her about your sex life?
Hey, some things are just not right to share with your mom. Call up another guy and share with him instead or call your dad, who you should really be talking to.
Do you date women who remind you of your mother?
Gross! Do you really want to picture your mother while having sex with a girl that reminds you of your mom? You need to stay away from her. Plus, your mom already created you so you don’t want to make the same mistake twice and create another you.
Do you call your mother every day or at least 4 days out of the week?
It is time for you to get more friends. Either male friends or female friends will do but you certainly need to call someone else.
Do you think your mother has been a bad mom to you while you were growing up?
It is never too late to make things right. No matter where your mother is, you should fix things between you two and develop a normal and loving relationship. Having a bad relationship with your mother will just cause you to have a crappy relationship with any woman.
If you have answered yes to most of these questions then dude, you have serious mommy issues. It’s time for you to cut the cord and find yourself a woman that will do everything your mom does/did for you. Forget what we wrote, we all want a woman to cook, clean and take care of us so seems like you are not alone buddy.
