not sure why i felt the need to add that...

I would think it would have much power to do with power than money.

for me it couldnt be less about the money.

It's about power, and being submissive, yes... he really knows how to fuck with my brain; I dont know if he does it on purpose... seems like it. Problem is, I love it and as much as it drives me crazy in more then one way I hope he never stops... Is the masochist in me I guess.

But I also really really really respect him. He personifies everything that I hold "holy", for lack of a better word. Anyone read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand? How Miss Tagart felt toward Galt is very similiar to my relationship with my teacher. Or what about the Dragonriders of Pern by Anne MacCaffrey? How Menolly felt towards Master Robinton is EXACTLY what I'm talking about

I think some younger female older female attractions have a lot to do with unresolved and/or unfulfilled Oedipus complexes. These are subconscious impulses and yearnings, but we try to make sense of them on the conscious level.

I don't believe that this is a negative thing, Oedipus complexes must have always existed. We just didn't know what to call them until Freud put a label on it. It's what makes Daddy/little relationships work.

As in many relationships we are seeking or trying to resolve or mirror relationships, on a subconscious level, that we've had in the past. Many women have subconscious unresolved issues with their fathers, some include daddy/daughter sexual behavior, and they engage in relationships, with older or father figure types, because they're trying to resolve those issues on a subconscious level. There's something deeper driving them to do that. Many women whose fathers cheated on their mothers are subconsciously attracted to "cheating" themselves, or "cheating" with a married man. This helps explain why some people keep returning to the same kind of relationship that doesn't really work for them.

Case in point, me. I'm extremely attracted to women have that have all the "undesireable" charactaristics of my mother. However, I know this. That knowledge is a tool that can help me make decisions about my relationships.

We are all uniquely crazy.
