    Vhanon, these days Im in process of taking a decision about my further actions and behavior. I’d love to do something for him but I think I can’t. Your last post made me go – wow, that’s exactly what it is. Im so grateful for talking to you! I had doubts about sharing my hardest life quest and Im so glad it turned this way! I think I got my answers, your words are like missing puzzle.

    I really can’t do anything in role of a girlfriend. All this social roles thing is very interesting isn’t it.
    I liked an article a lot and I want to share it with you. I agree with the idea of solo spinning:
    Spin solo until you are in perfect harmony with source and are able to create magic alone. Then you can, if you choose, attract someone who can spin along side you. The result is two beautiful souls who are spinning separately, but in perfect harmony… that’s where magic happens!

    This is something I can’t do with my boyfriend. The link is here, hope it’s interesting for you

    The question left- what to do with romantic feelings and why they are so enduring? I can’t accept such attitude anymore, this is very clear already, it destroys me. You asked about examples of manipulative behavior above, well, almost all the tactics on the list, constant guilt for everything what’s said or not said, done or not done, changing his mind too often and taking words back, accusing verbally, not appreciating my efforts and even my schedule, my free time, my health, my achievements. Im never good enough, I never did enough and whatever I say and believe in is bullshit. Uncontrolled emotional explosions.

    But I still feel that it’s not his fault, I know he is amazing person and could be anything he wants, yes, it requires hard inner work but it’s not impossible. At the moment though I don’t have a proper position in his life and I don’t have inner resource left to help him and it makes me very sad.

    Probably answers will come with time.

    Thank you for being with me here! I appreciate your concern!
    Namaste

    Hi, Chris.
    You are an amazing soul.
    I don’t support what others say here – forgive her. You tried hard but it doesn’t come to you.
    The positive thing is – you are not exploding in your anger (you did, but cmon who doesn’t sometimes), I hope you dealt with it and managed to forgive yourself. Next step to forgive someone who has hurt you.
    Here stop for a while. Why not being angry? If you push yourself to forgive, you ll have suppressed emotions to deal with in the future. Stay in your anger, it’s not destructive if you see it clearly.
    If you practice meditation, meditate on this feeling. It should leave naturally, don’t push it. Im not good at this myself yet 🙂 but Im trying, I believe we have rights to go fully through our emotions. Accept yourself as angry, you are not bad if you are angry. It would be bad if you went on for revenge, but experiencing anger doesn’t make you bad.

    It will go naturally, give it a time, maybe long time, unfortunately, we all have our lessons to learn. Im sure it’s given to you to understand something about yourself, although it’s quite cruel way.

    What you say and HOW you say it makes me think you are an amazing soul.
    I wish you all best
    Namaste.

    Hi, Vhanon.
    Im currently trying to understand what kind of love is that, it makes me hope although my brain clearly says there are no ways to make things work.
    I need time to proceed obviously. I guess Im in a great confusion, I cant push myself to meditate and feel I have no inner resource left for solving things. I take time out just hanging around without thinking, probably I need a short period of this kind of being.

    Im writing though to thank you. Person I’ve never seen appeared as most helpful and understanding. I send you all my love. I read your comments again and again, great food for thought, great point of view. It is really helpful.

    I wish you would have someone same wise and positive if you faced difficult times.

    Hi, Vhanon,
    I’ve just realized that my post I sent few hours ago, wasn’t published, probably because of the link it contains. I wanted to show you an article about soul mates and relationships with them.

    Im so thankful for your concern, you support me a lot and I feel like I start to see things more clear. Thank you a lot for this new for me point of view in your last message, Im definitely not in the right position to help, I was thinking about it sometimes, I feel Im not his friend, he sees me more like his mother. But its not the role I would like to have with a partner. Im not trying to be a mother, Im trying to be independent in my own life. When your boyfriend has problems with alcohol and doesn’t have any job, well it affects your life as well. And I don’t like it. I wouldn’t want to drop it so I try to change it, And I try to help in ways I can.

    Im feeling lost in my emotions, in all what’s happening but probably the most obvious way is the right way?
    I can’t solve someone’s problems if they don’t want it. Or if they don’t know what they want.

    I know he is not bad, he is very talented and has amazing potential, so probably hardest point is to accept that things won’t be the way they could, in the reality things are not magical, you can’t probably solve problems with sending love and hoping, it gets much more complicated.

    It’s just hard to let it go because connection we had seemed to be very unique, now I won’t dare to say it’s still same but it was. And it’s precious.

    Thank you for your interest in this problem, thank you for being here for me! I loved getting your comments! 🙂

    Namaste

    Thank you, Vhanon, I appreciate your feedback.
    It’s the advice that I get from people that care about me and it’s probably exactly what I should do.
    Sometimes things get too complicated and I always ask myself if I did enough and gave enough but in the end I feel that I didn’t get anything in return which hurts a lot.
    It seems my partner is not able to care about my mental and emotional state and the only way is to get him out of my life.

    I’m curious though are they (emotional manipulators) bad people? Are there bad people at all? I used to think we might behave bad towards someone because of our own troubles and weaknesses. But can it be that people might happen to be simply bad?

    Thank you again.
    It’s a great support.

    Hello, Pandapeach.

    There is nothing wrong with feeling sad, sadness is a natural emotion. Don’t try to stop it, avoid it, press it. Meditate on it. You will understand the deeper unconscious ground of it. If you are hurt by someone’s unkind and unfair behavior, try to let it go. We all have our own reasons to act in a certain way and mostly we behave badly towards others because of our own weaknesses. Understand him, forgive him and let it go.

    Accept your sadness in meditation, feel it fully, hug it, love it and it will leave like mist fog when the sun rises.

    Be healthy and peaceful.
    Namaste
