I had a karmic relationship. It was with a woman. The limerence was insanely strong. But she would blow hot and cold. One day saying I was her best friend and she loved me and wanted to make love to me... Then ghost me for 10 days straight. It caused me so much pain that it forced me to get help for my anxious attachment. As a result I have addressed many of my wounds from my mother's abuse and my history of abandonment by female figures in my life. My mother, my former best friend, now my almost-lover.
It was painful while it happened. But I did grow. A lot. I evolved. Unfortunately I don't know that she did...
