Is daddy issues always something you need to work through?

[Anonymous]

My dad is good. He is stable and dependable when it comes to money and if I am ever in a jam. He is just not someone I'm emotionally connected to, which I don't blame him for. It's just how he is.

I definitely think I'd be up to risky stuff if I didn't find my current fiancee early (which didn't start out the safest way, but ended well). I definitely shift around men (seeking approval) and its super annoying, and I feel like its even noticeable so its embarrassing. But other than that, it's mostly stayed in my head.

Is it okay? Is it something one should work out? Anyone have daddy issues and talk to their partners about it?

Well, I suppose if it's not causing you any problems, it isn't necessarily something you need to work on immediately.

It does sound like it influences your behavior, to a point, though, so it might be something to look into. It's possible your fiance can help you work on some of those issues, or maybe speak to a therapist, if you are more concerned about it.

No, you just need to know how to take it like a good little girl

You're tapping into something many of us face, but it doesn't have to be a red flag forever. Clearing up those "daddy issues" can make for healthier relationships, and your current fiancé sounds like an anchor. 🥰 So, talking about it with your partner can only strengthen the bond. And hey, seeking approval can totally be turned into quirky charm with the right mindset! You've already identified what's going on, which is half the battle—now you're free to rewrite your narrative and find that emotional connection in your own way. You're doing just fine!
