I don't think it's quite the same in my case. Because although he relied on me emotionally while excluding my mother, it was clear that it was an father to child dynamic, not man to woman. I probably got the message that to be a woman was to be discounted and belittled while to be a daughter was to be cherished.
Things are mixed with my husband. If I had my druthers, which I won't, I'd be treated respectfully but in a way that is appropriate for a girl, not a woman. Sexually.
