This was exactly what happened to me in my last and recently ended relationship. He was just my boyfriend and he promised me many things. I was aware of the love bombing and manipulation and was suffering the other stages but not fully understanding. Then I prayed to God and told him that if my boyfriend wasn't for me, to get him out of my way and it happened two days later (he left me for not giving him more affection) and then I see this video. My relationship didn't last long and I started seeing these things in the last few months. Without a doubt, God did not allow him to harm me further and protected me and I am quite well. I thank Him.

Thank you for this message.

I thought God wanted me to stay in that because of my marriage vows. I was wrong. The Lord never wants us to stay in those situations. That belief almost cost me my life. Praise God for delivering me from that!

How do I fix it though?

[@nancinew8288]

You can’t fix it. You can only be destroyed by it. The only thing you can do is get out of the relationship and fix yourself and heal so you can one day have a healthy relationship with a healthy person. God Bless❤

It depends which end you're at. I am at the receiving end of the trauma bond. I experienced love bombing because someone was attracted to me but I'm sure even they knew that they didn't know me well enough to actually be in love with me. I'm still searching for a trauma therapist. It's a bit ironic because love bombing more often than not occurs in religious environments so I'm extremely surprised that a pastor is even talking about it. If you were the one love bombing it might be helpful to apologize to the person you trauma bonded with and explain that you were being manipulative to increase the odds of forming a relationship. I guess it's still possible to love the person you love bomb, but it's harmful to gaslight and manipulate. Trauma bonding is very much fear based and dependant on the fear of losing someone as the prime motivation for staying in a relationship that isn't aligned with who you are. Therapy is definitely recommended. A couple would need to be prepared to face the possibility of divorce if they find that without the fear of loss there isn't a whole lot keeping them together. But you never know because relationships are complicated and sometimes there is more to the relationship than just fear keeping you from leaving. It's good to nip the trauma bond in the butt though.
