Why do i want my boyfriend to treat me like a child?

Im a very emotional depedent person and i know that can be a pain in the ass to my partner so i try not to demonstrate my neediness that often. But lately i feel like i want him to treat me like a child, with this i mean, i want him to treat me like im his baby, and look after me and im not going to lie this feel wrong. I also feel like i need him to control me, ive had this feeling in my last relationship too. This is not a kink. I know this may be toxic so i wanted to hear other opinions on this. sorry if my english isn`t understandable, thank you for yur time :))

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    It's normal if you experienced trauma during your childhood. Try taking a test to find your attachment style, and maybe dig a bit deeper into why you feel this way, most healthy relationships require no power dynamic. Talk therapy could be helpful if that's possible for you. Speaking from experience.

    My partner is kinda like this. It's on a switch. Need emotional support and the worlds hard? *flip* wants to watch monster high and eat ice cream. Wants to just grab a drink? *flip* asks me as an responsible adult.

    Its fine. Though that "daddy" shit doesnt work out with the double meaning though. So that word is banned.

    Mind you we dont publically state this for people to gawk at. Worst event that happened was the neighbors inquiring if he had a daughter because of the sheer amount of stuffed animals in view of a window. Oh boy that embarrassed her.

    Maybe try growing up and you won't feel this way.

    Daddy issues. Immaturity. Its common that people, though usually men, expect to be babied by their partner. Many men want a woman to care for them like a mother. Been coddled too much I suppose. Work on yourself, go out and do things on your own and see that you are capable of being a strong person without your partner.

      sometimes it makes me feel comfortable age regressing when im alone, its therapy to me. and no i do not pretend im a 3yo and expect him to treat me like a literal baby, i just do the stuff i was supposed to be doing when i was 7,8.for some reason imaniging my partner being present at this moments supporting me and giving me validation makes me feel consolation

            So long as you discuss boundaries and don’t impose it on other people I don’t see any issue with that. Many people find peace and joy by connecting with their “inner child”.

              OP is 15 though, she is a child
              She shouldn’t be searching for some obscure relationship dynamic
              15 year olds shouldn’t have ‘partners’ and it’s clear she has been exposed to some strange kink-related behavior through im assuming social media because she was able to recognize it as looking like a fetish.

              All bad.
