The Unspeakable Reason Love Hurts
Our romantic relationships, as childhood trauma survivors, often put us in a steady state of confusion. For most of us, the intricacies of deep emotional intimacy is somewhat like watching a foreign film without subtitles. We get the general idea, but the details and the subtlety escape us entirely. As the mounting confusion of our romantic relationship progresses it feels increasingly out of our control, much like in our childhood. So, although we may not be happy or satisfied with our partner, the underlying feelings are so familiar that they are, perversely, comforting.
Our relationship, or lack thereof, with either or both of our parents is a cliffhanger right into our adult lives and loves. We are inexplicably drawn to partners with whom we can replicate our childhood feelings via rejection, criticism, drama, abandonment, uncertainty, insignificance and that old familiar feeling of not being good enough. We are drawn to similarly wounded souls who, despite loving us, also lack the tools and techniques for creating a healthy, sustainable romantic relationship.
We stay enmeshed with these partners for years as we reenact our dysfunctions of origin in so many different ways that we fail to see the pattern. We stay in these highly unsatisfying, emotionally debilitating, growth inhibiting relationships for some of the following reasons:
