Dear  John:

Well your ex girlfriend triggered that mother attachment, activated it. Something about her, could be the fact that she  was older than you, didn’t  have  young children to attend to and had  money to take you out for  fun, hotel, vacations, fun activities and outings.. unlike your girlfriend who is younger than you (isn’t she?), has young children she attends to every day, and has no money and cannot afford fun activities and outings.
