Looks like it's pretty common for men to compare their female partners to their mothers...
She says: ‘Our relationships with our parents and caregivers and their relationships with each other act as a blueprint for our attachment style and romantic relationships in adulthood.‘She is usually also the first example they see of what it is to be a wife/partner.
Caroline says: ‘Comparing your partner to anyone can be unhelpful at best and destructive and hurtful at worst. ‘Expecting someone else to give us the type of care and attention our parents are willing to, is not healthy or realistic. ‘It can make our partner feels like they have to be emotionally and even practically responsible for us.’
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a partner who has the qualities you admire most in others, but expressing your feelings with this particular comparison is probably best avoided.Unconsciously, you might be psychologically of perpetuating the comparison.
