We often mirror the relationship dynamics we experience during early childhood.

Like others, I often think “where does this come from” and I read a lot on this subreddit about infidelity, insecurity, erectile dysfunction, small penis, performance anxiety, porn addiction, fear of intimacy, etc…but I’m more interested in commonalities that can be attributed in early childhood development years.

This made me wonder, is there any core principle that most cuckolds share in common from childhood?

Growing up, I never saw my parents hug or kiss. I wonder if I’m mirroring their love-less dynamic by essentially outsourcing the intimacy. I have a memory of my dad being angry that they don’t “do it” anymore during an argument. I think I’ve held onto that memory because he wanted intimacy but she denied it.

I think in a way, I now fear being denied and rejected and I get cuckolding is meant to be intimate but its also clearly a roleplaying event where the cuck is denied, rejected, and even replaced. My mom also cheated on my dad so that has to be relevant.

Does this resonate with anyone else? What in your childhood (pre-puberty) might have caused your path into cuckolding?
