Yes.... I understand this one. Mine is hugging me tightly at night while we sleep and it provides a false sense of love, comfort and safety. When in fact, I do not feel loved, I do not feel comforted, and I do not necessarily feel emotionally safe with him. And he's been love bombing me too a bit, calling me several times during the day to check up on me. I think he sense me pulling away a bit.

I wish there was an answer for the both of us; but there just isn't one immediately available. It's really hard and a HUGE challenge to be faced with.
