Are You Involved With A Love Junkie?By Amanda Willis
Maybe you have found the one for you, or so you think at first. It could be that the security of finding someone is so addictive to you that you really don't notice how your lover has actually attached themselves to you at the hip. They begin stifling you, they seem to have lost interest in their own lives, abilities and talents and spend all their time seeking recognition from you. Then you realize they have unrealistic expectations and impossible needs that you can't possibly fulfill. By the time you figure out you're involved with a love junkie it may be too late to do anything except run away. The reality of being involved with a love junkie is that it can be devastating and even dangerous for the addict and their partner. The media is always full of crimes of passion, such as murder and rape, stalking and suicides that all began with a love addiction. There are plenty of signs that a person will exhibit to clue you in that they may have a love addicted personality. There are also harder to distinguish, obscure symptoms they may have. You want to watch for some of the more common characteristics a new lover can exhibit that should cause you to break it off or have them seek professional help. Some of these symptoms may have other reasons; all love junkies won't exhibit any of them, all of them or just one of them. Discussion might be the key to resolving some of the issues you see as problems. If they seem afraid to trust anyone, even you, the person they're having a relationship with. This doesn't always make a person dangerous or a love junkie, they could just be wary of another bad relationship. Another classic sign that a partner may be a love junkie is that they place too much emphasis on becoming a 'whole' person or complete now that you are in their life. If this is the only sign it could be true that this person is just glad to have a partner and they no longer have to go on with the dating scene. The love junkie may refer to mere wants as desperate needs that they must have at all costs. They seem to have a frantic personality or driven. This may have attracted you at first because you saw it as ambition but it now appears to be desperation. Most love junkies have other addictions or problems with compulsion. They become easily depressed, refuse to discuss or even acknowledge problems of any type. They also have an almost 'needy' desire to control themselves, you or any circumstances of their life. If your lover or boyfriend/girlfriend exhibits any one or more of these symptoms you should have them seek help or just get away from them. Life is too short to be unhappy or in a bad relationship.
