Love addiction is not just in sexual relationships. Love addiction can be present in any relationship where our thinking is taken over by excessive focus on the other person, where we believe our life is not available to us without this person front and center. It can happen in a sex relationship, in a platonic relationship, in a relationship with a friend or a colleague or a boss. It can even happen in a parent child relationship. Wherever our mind is consumed with another person, wherever we lose the ability to self care, wherever we become increasingly powerless to change the hurting dynamic… love addiction may be present.
