Whenever a female has a fucked up relationship with her father, or absence of a father figure during her childhood, it tends to spill into any adult relationship they embark on, usually to the chagrin of any poor male in their life.

Geez, I come home one minute late and my old lady wants me to sleep on the couch. She has some serious daddy issues.

daddy issues

(noun)

when someone has a bad/non-existent relationship with their father or when someone has no good father figure in their life. Most common in afab/women, but can occur to any gender. Can be caused by an abusive father, a dead father, a father with anger issues, an emotionally unavailable father, etc. Someone with daddy issues might be more attracted to toxic/older men, or men that remind them of their father.

Could also be referring to the song "Daddy Issues" by The Neighbourhood.
