The mimicry of intimacy



         We often see that there are some women who have a series of failed relationships .The relationship ends because the man could not commit or cheated.Each of their relationships ends due to similar reasons.

The men she chose were often distant/made intermittent contact, were emotionally unavailable or controlling and abusive-none of which bode well for the success of a relationship .

Let us look into the reasons for the same:
The woman was raised by an imbecile father who was emotionally distant OR she was raised by an abusive father
The woman's father was never truly intimate
She learnt never to rely on another man
She subconsciously chose men who were only peripherally present but emotionally absent and were not after her heart because they felt familiar due to subconscious programming
She suffered from the 'father wound' which is basically a deep wound due to a father who emotionally abandoned her by being distant/abusive/unavailable

Thus, one chooses partners who mimic intimacy due to subconscious programming and underlying childhood abuse.

  Characteristics of   trauma bonded relationships: A constant pattern of non-performance — your partner promises you things, but keeps behaving to the contrary. Others are disturbed by something that is said or done to you in your relationship, but you brush it off. You feel stuck in the relationship because you see no way out. You keep having the same fights with your partner that go round in circles with no real winner. You're punished or given the silent treatment by your partner when you say or do something "wrong." You feel unable to detach from your relationship even though you don't truly trust or even like the person you're in it with. When you try and leave, you are plagued by such longing to get back with your partner you feel it might destroy you        Key reasons for staying in trauma bonded relationships: Addictive quality It's a bit like becoming addicted to a drug.
