I took it to be some kind of romantic relationship, clearly one in which one party is rather dependent on the other. When one half of the couple is away, the other one feels like they can't breathe.
There is a difference between feeling like you can't breathe and feeling suffocated. Suffocation suggests the involvement of someone else, not their absence.

Please do not post the same question simultaneously to more than one forum. Doing so wastes our valuable time.
Instead, post your question to one forum and wait for replies. If you're not satisfied with those replies, you can try another forum, but please indicate in your thread that you've already asked the same question elsewhere (provide a link), and outline why you were not satisfied with the answers you received already.
