I think it's a bit more complicated than that. For example, Shinobu is his "past" while Senjougahara is his "future".

Shinobu's prediction of them being stuck together forever while everyone else dies is of course what she says while trying to convince him to abandon her. Shinobu is what keeps him stuck. She's quite literally the scars of his past.

Senjougahara by contrast pushes him forward. She makes him think about his life and seek to better himself. She's the force that pulls him out of his rut of self-loathing and depression. Ironically by constantly demeaning him she reinforces his sense of self-worth by forcing him to defend himself.

It's, well, it's pretty clear that Senjougahara will likely win in the very very end, but it'll be quite a struggle because Shinobu is a huge influence in his life.
