Do you often fall for people who are emotionally unavailable?
‘Love addiction is a condition where individuals often fall in love or become deeply attached to someone who fails to return their love and affection,’ love addiction expert and couples therapist, Helen Mia Harris, explains.
‘More often than not, the love addict will be passionately attracted to someone who is emotionally unavailable, at times withdrawn and unresponsive, or someone who will disregard/neglect the relationship.’
So how do you know if you, or the person you’re dating is a love addict? Helen shares the 13 signs.
1 Inability to let go
Finding it almost impossible to let go of an unhealthy relationship even if your love is not returned and you know you should leave.
2 Fear of your partner leaving
Yearning and pining for the beloved/partner to return your text messages, emails, phone calls ‘immediately’ for fear of them leaving and abandonment.
3 Worrying they don’t feel the same
Feeling anxious and panicky, fearing they don’t feel the same way as you and that you won’t survive without them.
