First of all sorry. It’s more like am I in need of major therapy.
Grew up without a father. Thought I was pretty okay with it. In a amazing relationship with an amazing man who I love dearly. I adore him. He makes my heart sing. But I can’t help but feel an impulse of attraction to the older - very much older male.

Is this a daddy issue? It actually sickens me. Why am I like this? I’m mid twenties I do look younger though. Would never betray DP. Can guarantee he will
Look at other girls and feel attraction we are human after all? Right?

We all feel attraction to other people so I wouldn't worry too much - unless you start thinking about acting on that attraction.

I have found some older males incredibly attractive so you are not on your own!

However if you feel the lack of a father during childhood has had a negative impact, then counselling or therapy could be a good idea.

Are you talking George Clooney? If so, I get it ;)

He was very attractive and kept giving me the eye constantly even though I was sat with my partner! And then he kept looking my partner up and down! I just wouldn’t, but i feel guilty for even having these thoughts even though it’s a given that my partner probably does! Thank you both for replying. I weird myself out sometimes. No just that, I’m pretty well balanced after receiving therapy when younger, just thought that could possibly be the root. Thank you x
