Summary
Love addiction can be a cruel experience for both the addicted person and their spouse. It may be why your partner hasn't stopped the affair.
How terrible it is when you can't get the love object out of your mind and every time you see them you can't stop obsessing over them.
Now not everyone experiences this and not every affair is like this necessarily...but we've all likely experienced limerence in our lives at one point or another.
As young people many of us experience the elements of infatuation as we develop shallow feelings for someone.
Make sure to listen to episode 1 where we talk about the stages of recovery. We will also have an episode specifically on the types of affairs. There are actually 10 different types of affairs. Not all are created equally.
Each type of affair will take you down its own unique winding road and each has its own special challenges.
Join us for this episode of Are They Addicted To Love? What Is Limerence?
Could this be how your spouse felt about the affair partner?
