Healthy romantic love is a love that can encourage bonding, intimacy and the opportunity to be you with another person.
Romance, with or without sex, encourages personal growth as each new relationship shows new aspects of one’s self, you learn new thing about yourself that you did not realized existed because people adapt to their environment which causes change or evolution, depends on the character / personality of the other person, could bring out the good or bad in you.
Most people when they find a new love usually experiences the euphoric feeling and when it disappears, a person keep searching for it again and again thus creating an endless longing for that so called rush which can evolve into a destructive pattern of addiction and compulsion. The closeness that romance, love and sexuality offers to a love addicted person can be often filled with pitfalls, anxiety and pain.

Relationship addiction
It is not that a person is addicted to relationships as it is more about falling for the people who are emotionally damaged and who are not capable of real intimacy. Relationship addiction deals with people who have an uncontrollable urge to care for another person, someone whom you believe you can change, care for and someone whom you can love also someone whom you believe will return that care, attention and love to you.
When a person is unable to change another person’s ways, they tend to become frustrated and through that frustration they have an even more need to be with that person. When all your thoughts and actions are based around that person it is at this point where it becomes an obsessive relationship. Love has been confused with obsession. Your behavior, emotions, life are all being controlled by the relationship and also your physical health suffers in the process.
The faults of the other person is being downplayed, excuses are made and you retain blame for everything that has gone wrong in the relationship so you think that if you had tried harder, things would be better.

One of the least understood addictions is one that is getting all kinds of publicity these days – sex addiction.
In fact, even professionals don’t agree about what the subject entails. Is it an addiction in the same way that drugs and alcohol are? Or is it a form of obsessive compulsive disorder? How can you differentiate between someone who is addicted to sex and someone who is simply loves to have sex.
Some ideas about sex addiction seem to be agreed upon. One is that it is indeed a problem when someone is unable to control their sexual behaviour, even when they wish they could. And when the addict is willing to ignore health, family, their spouse, and their job and finances, then this points to the behaviour being a real problem.
So, what is sex addiction, exactly and which behaviours does it include?
