Dear V:

Yes, “your childhood and your relationship with your family can influence or potentially cause Relationship anxiety or rOCD”-

-when a child is stuck in a home where there is some love, sometimes, but also anger and even hate, what happens is that the child is conflicted, wanting to stay for the love and wanting to leave the hate, to put it simply.

So later, in a romantic relationship, the adult-child is still conflicted, wanting love but afraid of the hate, and if there is no hate, she is afraid it may happen anytime, and she is scared. Scared, she loses her affection and desire for the man, preparing herself this way to leave.

What do you think?
