Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident

Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident I never noticed the closeness being built. I just assumed it was love, and assumed what I owed because of it, without either of us ever saying it out loud. Short version: Trauma bonding is usually described as something that happens to you, almost by accident, through unpredictable reward. A 2025 Cambridge study, interviewing eighteen women with sustained attachment to abusive partners, found something sharper underneath that: the closeness itself is often deliberately constructed early on, specifically so it can be exploited later. Researchers call this attachment weaponisation. The unsettling part is that it isn't always obvious while it's happening.

How to save money each month for your retirement

 If you want to save money each month for your retirement, you need to think of a percentage of your income you can comfortably put a side as soon as you get paid.

 If you put a percentage % away of your take home income you can start a saving budget planner to see where you’ll be in 5, 10 or even 20 years time! 

Here’s an example if you were to put £750 away each month into a savings account… 

Month 1 £750

1 year £9,000

2 years £18,000

3 years £27,000

4 years £36,000

5 years £45,000

Jump to 

10 years £450,000

15 years £675,000

20 years £900,000

Wow that’s pretty impressive heh, so imagine if you could also earn more, get a return on this money by investing and save on your overheads (ie bills by shopping around) you could make this figure huge!!! 

Have a little play around and see what your financial future can look like (include pay rises too!)
