What if a dual betrays you?
When you want to part with them when you are close, they close the distance, call you talk to you for a long time, if you avoid answering they ask about you, avoid conflict to an extent of not wanting to deeper analyze what went wrong, distract you from the issue, offer you something new to research about, and just don't want to see you upset or lose you. Distancing from such a person can be as difficult as peeling your skin, but what if one has to do it? How do you deal with it afterwards? Is there a better strategy to temporarily push your dual out of your life, alongside everyone, without hurting them and yourself?
This is I think the downside of duality, one becomes dependent to a point of not being able to push the other away even if it is better that way!
