Thanks for the explanation and I also read where you stated that this
is universal for women except for lesbians.
Could you tell me what school of theory this is from?
I must be misunderstanding it. When you say that
"Since usually a young girl's father is a love object for her"
do you mean she has sexual feelings for him? Is this a Freudian
analysis?
(wait can't be, you said later it's not about sex)
If she had a bad relationship with her real father, wouldn't it be
more likely she would transfer feelings of love for another older man?
Why would a father substitute be "out of bounds?"
Then you say:
Althought she may have had some
> difficulty in relationships with other men in her life before her
> current husband, because a girl's relationship with her father will
> have an effect on all other relationships with men after his.

Well, my guess is a girl's relationship with her mother and her
siblings will have an effect on all other relationships with men.
We all know that JKR's first marriage did not work out, but you seem
to be contradicting yourself when you say it will have an effect
on "all other relationships with men" after this. After all, her
current relationship seems to be fine.
Still confused.
And how does this theory affect bisexual women?
