What is Obsessive Love?
Obsessive Love, Love Obsession, Love Addiction, or Relationship Addiction are all common terms when referring to “Obsessive Love.” The experience of insecure love has two main components. One is anxiety. This is the “he loves me, he loves me not” sensation of being kept constantly on edge by a fickle lover. Anxious lovers feel as volatile as the stock market – up one day, down the next. Their passion rages all the more intensely when they are least sure that it is reciprocated. The second component of insecure love is obsession with the loved one. Love at first sight, longing to see the loved one every day, wanting to go off and live on a deserted island together – these are the signs of romantic obsession. To the obsessed lover, the possibility of rejection feels like the end of the world. A person who experiences romantic insecurity tends to be both anxious and obsessed. For such a person, love is a tempestuous experience. THE FIRST MAJOR COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF LOVE: New book by psyc
