Dear Shade,
I think I accidentally trauma-bonded with my situationship. Is that… bad?
Also, they just started calling me “their light in the dark” and I don’t know if I should kiss them or run.
Help.

Dear Confused,
First: yes.
Second: obviously yes.Trauma-bonding is not a foundation. It’s emotional duct tape. Temporary, messy, and liable to snap mid-apocalypse.
If someone calls you “their light in the dark” — ask yourself this:
Are you a beacon… or just a convenient torch they can drop when the path changes?Kiss them if you want the story.
Run if you want the ending.
Do both if you’re me.Yours (but not really)
