The karmic entanglement in love is indeed there to help you. Help you in what way? It helps you overcome the karmic hurdle. Only a karmic entanglement can make you experience the suffocating feeling of being on the verge of death. And it comes uninvited; you can't control yourself, you're drawn in, painfully tug-of-war with someone with no future, from constant self-doubt to finally him abandoning his principles. But remember, a karmic entanglement is still a karmic connection; you can't escape it. Constantly running away will only amplify your pain. You must persevere, persevere until your feelings for him are completely exhausted, to repay his debt, and he will have helped you through the ordeal. Face this relationship head-on, truly end it. When you step out of this emotional entanglement and look at it from a third-person perspective, you will discover a different, reborn self. This self will transform from the tempered iron of the past into a person of action. You will become the one who bursts the bubble of the savior complex, sees through the disguise of another bitter drink, and becomes the one who actively takes control of love and freedom.
