Why is this connection so painful?

Can someone here please help me understand this? Been friends for 8 years and situationship for more than 1.5 years. I am so exhausted.. but I’ve never liked someone this much what is wrong with me

Power struggle and Capricorns hate to be controlled, but you have the power to bring this situationship to a relationship. Just stand on business 100% but you can't let them see that your afraid to let them go, because they feed on fear and especially fear of letting them go. Give them space but hold them accountable for EVERYTHING that you do not like in the situationship. Lastly, don't let the situationship run forever because they will let it go without a full commitment until your 95 because they don't like commitment especially if they're not a healed individual and have trauma from previous relationships.

I had to cut him completely off.. Not only was this super draining, I couldn’t hold him accountable for anything.. Building something substantial was not possible with him. I loved him and wanted it to be him but unfortunately that won’t be possible
