Love is freeing, attachment is possessive
When you are in
love, you don't need to see the person to feel safe. You don't need to
be with this person to understand how he or she feels. You never wonder
about your love's affection and never get jealous. When it's just
attachment, you never have a true hold on your partner's feelings
because the only time you feel safe is when you are with him or her.
When you are apart, you can't help but wonder what, or who, he or she is
doing.
Love is liberating, attachment is controlling
Mutual
love allows you to be your true self. Your partner encourages you to be
who you genuinely are and you won't be afraid to expose your
weaknesses. Love is never controlling. In actuality, love transcends
control. Your partner's ability to accept you for who you are and
encourage you to pursue your dreams allows you to let go of the need to
control their life. Attachment, on the other hand, tends to fuel
controlling behavior. You may discourage your partner from spending time
with their friends, play mind games, or put an unhealthy level of focus
on pleasing them. You may even try to manipulate them into staying with
you regardless of their feelings.
