Emotional dependency no longer has a place.

The Lover is categorically against emotional dependency. However, he should also avoid finding himself in a relationship with an emotionally dependent person, as this can become a burden for him. In the Lover’s universe, emotional dependency is considered a terrible scourge, as it can paralyze a relationship for months or even years.

It can be difficult to spot people who are emotionally dependent, as some hide their clingy tendencies from the first moment they meet, while others don’t realize they are dependent. Once a relationship begins, the tentacles of emotional dependency can begin to wrap themselves around you.

The Lover must react quickly and make it clear to his conquest that he cannot be caged. He must remain courteous while asserting his independence. If his conquest cannot bear his freedom, he will have to end the relationship before it becomes a burden for him.

Emotionally dependent people are also excellent manipulators and can make you feel guilty with words or attitudes to make you understand how devastating your rejection is for them. The Lover must be careful not to fall into this trap.

The Lover is like Mérimée’s Carmen: a flighty bird, and he will not allow anyone to clip his wings. His conquest must understand that he is free and that he has no intention of being locked in a cage. The happy Lover is a free Lover, who will continue his quest for pleasure with finesse and assiduity.
