That's not a girlfriend it's a second mother.

Well there's a fella who really loved his mother

He spent more time in her than dad did, before he even was born. Guess he got addicted.

Pretty common phenomenon. And it works for some people, there are men who need hand holding and women who want to nurture (or vice versa). I think it would be healthier for OOP to recognize it for what it is though, and also that it's not a universal experience. For example I'd be miserable as either party in that relationship.
