Hi Corinnelee,
A strong connection should not be taken lightly. However, this person’s attachment and confusion with it is presenting a mixed energy that will probably not facilitate a stable relationship at this time. That doesn’t mean you have to cut ties entirely. It means your only option here is to focus on your own energy. Focus on creating your joy from within, and over time you will attract the right energy from this person or bring in a better suited person.
I believe we sometimes form strong bonds in unstable situations to teach us unconditional love, for ourself and this person. The uncertainty is what teaches you to look inward instead of outward for the stability you need. You just focus on your joy, allow them to experience life on their terms, and keep a light on 🙂
