So often womb twin survivors find twin replacements in other things or relationships in born life. Due to our womb loss(es), we crave the unconditional love we once shared with our twin, and sometimes go to great lengths to feel it again.
Here's a possible wombtwin named Dave Cat who seems to have found a way to satisfy this need for unconditional presence to the exreme in his love relationship with a realistic doll or synthetic spouse.

He seems to be expressing/living/quenching aspects of his in-utero bond through Sidore (his twin replacement) such as non-verbal communication, one brain/two bodies, sibling play time and the dreaded part when the twin transitions from beginning life to no longer being viable.
I would guess that his most traumatic womb memory is when his twin ceased and no longer responded. He may be stuck in that moment with Sidore...regressing and compensating...but this time he has complete control over the situation. He seems to delight in the fact she has no pulse and how gratifying that he was able to "save" her when she needed repair. This may be the happiest he can arrive at without knowing the underlying story.
My concern for him, though, like womb twins who take this path - is that he will alienate himself from others at the expense of himself to keep this dream of the womb alive. Because he hasn't brought it to awareness, the complex may take over his life so that he too becomes obliterated and sabotaged exactly like his twin, out of survivor guilt.
I wish he and Sidore well and would certainly welcome his phone call if he should ever want to explore this further!
