Men and women have different attitudes toward serious relationships. Most often, a man, meeting a woman, takes the relationship for granted, and women elevate their feelings, which over time can develop into a love addiction.
Fatal passion
The inability to concentrate, constant anxiety, fixation on the “object of desire” are typical syndromes of manifestation of a kind of disease, in the literature called “fatal passion”, and interpreted by psychologists as love addiction.
Mad woman’s affection for a man sucks up vital energy to the last drop, leaving in his head a place only for thoughts about a loved one, and overflowing his soul with fatigue.
The result of all this can be shaky nerves, a lack of love for oneself, total insecurity in one's abilities.
Who can become a victim of love addiction?
A deficit of parental love in childhood often leads to a feverish filling of the soul with love in the future. Having met his “ideal partner”, the woman’s only desire is to keep him near her, literally “to dissolve in him”.
Low self-esteem, perhaps also from childhood. It leads to the fact that their needs and problems are relegated to the background. The desire to please the beloved becomes the meaning of life.
This leads to the fact that all his time and effort is spent on meeting his needs. The thought of one’s own desires seems sacrilegious.
It must be remembered that loving dependence gives a man, an object of such love, a sense of permissiveness, power, and this can not lead to good consequences and harmony in relationships.
