I have been with my 'man' for around six months now. He is so very precious and takes really good care of me when I am on a downer, anyway, he made a comment the other day about how he wishes he could show me more love and affection. (I have no complaints at all so far). I asked to him what he meant by that comment and he said its because of the way he was brought up. In short.

His mother, for reasons best known to her self, basically neglected him and his brother, the girls were ok, she idolised them.

She would hide food from them, not give them warm enough clothes etc., basically a very neglectful awful woman who made awful comments and statements to both my man and his brother.

My question is this, how come she treated her daughters differently?? It seems that she absolutely 'hates' the boys, how come? Strange and sad, but M is a wonderful wonderful man, very sensitive and just so special. Any survival tips and advice would be appreciated, do i try to get him to talk about it or just let him tell me in his own time, he often sits and broods and i know exactly why but i dont want to question or comment. I just hold him tight and tell him I love him, which I do.

Thanks good peoples and huggles
