Hello all,

I started dating this guy in very difficult circumstances....he was basically a stranger who was around the moment i got the news about my twinsoul getting killed....so i collapsed into his arms....and we got together...

in the beginning our relationship was beautiful and we were very connected


but he slowly started to withdraw become less and less emotionally and physically available until it has turned into a cold torture...as if we re a miserable married couple who ve been together by 30 yrs and bound together by law or sthg...

He denies all of this..says we're doing fine...but refuses to touch me or express love verbally anymore..... also crticizes me a lot and guilt trips me a lot

sometimes i think its because of the stresses in his own life,,,,,but they existed before...sometimes i think he got too scared once we got too close?

the thing is he wont let me break up with him, and i m too weak to enforce it... i m not happy anymore but he s become like heroine.....

I FEEL TRAPPED AND CHAINED

attached r our charts any advice appreciated

So what's the question here? Do you want to discuss this relationship here for a few pages then continue to stay in it? Because that's what it sounds like. You've already described your problem with the guy, the correct choice (leaving), and your inability to follow through with it. It's not easy to breakup when you're addicted to someone. I know It sucks. It's a very difficult thing to do. You have to summon all your strength and make it happen. The only choice you have in any unhappy situation that continues to disintegrate is to exit from it.

You'll probably run around and have this discussion in circles with others and with yourself for a while before you follow through with it. That's usually how most of us do it. I sympathize with you because I have been there. I hope you do what's right for you. If you don't though, you are responsible for whatever emotional difficulty follows.

They're not married. I think she can legally leave him, just not emotionally. It's an internal battle more than an external one. She wants to figure out how to overcome her addiction to him.

Without the synastry/composite wheels, it's hard to give an insight, at least for me

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...

Sounds like a trauma bond.

How did you determine your 'twin soul' was your twin soul (Twin Flame)?

Incidentally, the sad truth of abused women is they choose to be abused. There's a pay-off. A conscious decision that's made each day, whether it's 'the devil you know' or some other hidden benefit.

This is why they won't leave unless or until they want to.

The better question might be: why do you think you're choosing an abusive relationship? Is it because the man you've believed to be your Twin is gone, and there can't be anything better for you -- so you've just ... given up? I could see that sort of apathetic attitude in play here.

'Addiction' is habituation; it can often be mistaken for love, as the brain becomes 'programmed' to expect certain responses, stimuli, and experiences.

The best possible thing is to suck it up and get out of town to a safe place for 3 weeks. The first will be hell. The second will be easier. The third will bring clarity.

Thankyou guys


Exactly it does feel like habituation..... and I do feel programmed.... his responses and voice (even the cold ones) have become so familiar that I am in this loop of I ll take anything I can get to soothe the pain of withdrawal...

HE is also a lot like my dad in his emotional abuse and I guess that s a familiarity...

and yes it s a trauma bond...but i wasnt with my twinflame when he died...we had already had a relationship and ended it...and moved on to be..,,friends or whatever.... but we were still pretty close.... i figured he s my twin flame because we feel the sibling soul thing....born 6 days apart.... have a v wierd psychic connection n wierd things happening around us..and felt like we re the only two people in the world who fully understood each other, but we were v ungrounded escaping the world together, this is why it didnt work....


I actually dont wanna be with someone like my twin flame.. Earlier this year I even prayed that I am done with unstable magical passionate flings and i want stability at any cost.... i have stability now but the cost is high...


The other thing other than habituation is that 3 months ago he used to be different...much more caring and expressive...so there s this wish that he ll just come back to that when he is less stressed at work, or trusts me more or whatever...all kinds of excuses...hence the CIRCLES OF DISCUSSION SAG... and ur spot on... i ve been going round talking about breaking up for 2 months...but when i decide to do it I either get a panic attack...or the moment he just kisses my hand and says thats stupid ur imagining things, we are good together, i just shut up...


It s very wierd for me, I ve never been this week....it used to be so easy for me to exit.... if anything i was the premature exiter..... and this is why i dont understand why this is so hard
