Has anyones body physically told then it’s the wrong person?

[Aimeetamie]

I have an ex who I dated for a year, during that time I had terrible anxiety, stomach issues, tight chest, couldn’t eat etc. he wasn’t doing anything particularly wrong, we just weren’t a good match at all. After we broke up it went away, I didn’t necessarily link those feelings to him, I thought it was more my own state of mind at that time.
he recently got back in touch and wanted to meet to chat so we did. Instantly the feelings were back, I don’t think he’s a predator or anything like that and actually has a lot of nice attributes but I just get a physical feeling being around him and afterwards that I can’t explain.
has anyone eve had this?

I've had anxiety while seeing someone, I think most people have at times. It's usually time to dump when that happens. I guess he could somehow have instigated the response, or you might get it with others and its the situation rather than the person. Have you dated since and been fine?

Yep dated since and not experienced it at all

Well its not going to work if he makes you feel this awful, whatever the reason. I'd just cut my losses and forget about him.

Unusual though, I've not heard of this before. My first thought was that you were subconsciously aware of something that was not right with him, or something about him reminded you of someone that harmed you in the past

Or it might be a more woo explanation, maybe he harmed you in your past lives or something?

I think he probably has some mannerism that you've subconsciously picked up on that's similar to someone you've had a past negative experience with. Even if people don't remember bad things, put them in a similar situation and an emotional response can happen. It's unfortunate, but best to move on from it - unless of a mind to seek therapy for past events.

I've read about women who developed auto immune system type symptoms, were prescribed medication and had a diagnosis.

I've read about women gaining huge amounts of weight, severe pain in their hips, gynae conditions.

All improved after a change in relationships.

I don't think these symptoms were 'in their head's but I do think they were made worse by the stressful situations they found themselves in because they were dating the wrong person.

I suppose if you can be allergic to perfectly normal things in the environment, maybe its possible to be allergic to something about a particular person. Their sweat or something?
