Letting go of a True Emotion Mirror and when not to do it
First, if you haven’t read my previous post about letting go and allowing people make their own choices for themselves, you might want to read that. But in summary, I was talking about how letting go is an emotional state rather than a behavior. Today, I’ll discuss another feeling of having to hold onto someone, simply to not allow them to be dragged into a relationship they don’t want rather than to holding them selfishly to yourself regardless of who they want.
This requires honesty on your part; Do you feel like your True Emotion Mirror (“True Emotion Mirror”) will choose someone else if you let them, or do you feel like someone else will force them into a relationship with them even though they want you if you let go of them? If you know they would not choose you if they were free to choose for themselves, what makes you think you have to hold onto them? Is that a good reason? What are you afraid of happening if you let go?
Your True Emotion Mirror would always choose you if they felt they were free to do so. Several reasons may keep them from making that choice, among the most common ones loyalty/responsibility to someone else (like a spouse they swore to love no matter what before they met you), their family’s objection even if they don’t know about them, or because they feel you are not even interested in them even if they did want you, or another misunderstanding about your feelings for them. If your True Emotion Mirror feels they have to stay with their spouse, there are some more questions that you need to study: Do they feel they would lose their honor should they break their vows, or do they feel forced to stay in a marriage they no longer want. If it is their sense of honor stopping them from leaving their spouse, (a very common motivation for a man,) I would seriously consider letting go of them and respecting their choice and their values, and to stop making their life more difficult than what it needs to be by hanging onto them emotionally. If they feel forced to stay in a marriage they no longer want, I consider it your duty to go onto a rescue mission mode to get them out of it.
So. Does it feel dangerous FOR THEM if you let go of them? Then don’t. If you are simply hanging onto someone because you really want a husband or a boyfriend or a wife or a girlfriend, then… it’s time to start looking elsewhere.
