Did this love spell backfire?
Hi all, I haven’t been in this sub in a few years, and I haven’t done anything related to witchcraft in over a year. I became depressed, busy, and didn’t have time or motivation to do anything for a while. However, when thinking back, I started thinking back a few years, and I’ve started to wonder if a spell I did backfired.
About two years ago, I was ending high school and had a bad falling out with someone I was seeing romantically. We weren’t together officially, but we spent time together and became close before he suddenly stopped speaking to me. I was a naive teenager and obviously this wrecked me. To try and distract myself, I started becoming closer with some new people I had met, and it worked out well! One was also going through a similar “breakup” so we bonded pretty quickly.
Again being emotional and desperate kids, we decided to try love spells to win them back. We had both done spells and witchcraft before, we just weren’t advanced. We had a friend with us who was pretty knowledgeable on it, and kinda told us to be careful and left whenever we did anything. All I can remember is using red candles and the wax together alone, because our friend got out of the car when we did it. Honestly we were not careful at all and did it a few more times across the week.
Unfortunately I did not win my ex back and neither did they. However, seemingly out of nowhere, we started dating. I can’t express how sudden this was. We were genuinely best friends before with no romantic attraction or feelings whatsoever. One night we just felt so strongly to each other that we got together out of nowhere. We’ve always been infatuated with each other since then.
This brings me to today. Let me express that I have severe anxiety, and have been diagnosed since I was 7. I want to clarify this in case this falls under my anxiety rather than the spell.
Our relationship is very full of love, but it seems almost like it lacks, or something is off? For one, there’s always tension or stress building in the relationship. Weird things always happen to us together, and things are never working in our favor. For me there’s always a sense of stress, and I often feel like we would have been better off staying best friends. We’ve been together over two years now, but I’ve always wondered if that old love spell we did together is part of this.
Does this seem like a backfired spell? If so is there any way to fix this? I do love them a lot and I want to stay together, but I’m wondering what you guys think. Feel free to ask any more questions. Thank you.
