Am I a love addict?

Am I a love addict? What are the signs that you are addicted to love? What happens when you always need to be in a relationship and with the ‘perfect person’? What does it mean to bounce from relationship to relationship always looking for love? Read on…

Ask the Expert:

Question: “I think I may be addicted to women. I have a girlfriend, but I cannot keep myself from flirting with other women and wondering what they are like in bed. I have not cheated and do not plan on it but the thought excites me. Is there something wrong with me?”

Cali Estes, The Addictions Coach Answers: “Recently a term coined, ‘Love Addict’ is being used rather loosely to describe someone who seems to want to attract the attention of many suitors, even going as far as falling in love without even having sex with them. You need to investigate why you like the attention:

*Are you happy with your girlfriend?

* Do you like to take risks and like danger…does the trill of sneaking off to meet another woman excite you and why?

*Is it a power and control thing that you need to dominate and run the show?

*What in your past is causing you to want to do this?

*Is it insecure that she might leave you and you need another one to take her place immediately?

*Are you narcissistic and think that everyone needs to love you?

*Do you have poor boundaries and not know when to ‘turn it off’?

*Are you bored…home? job? girlfriend?

These are just some of the questions you need to explore and answer, to investigate why you find this behavior exhilarating in your life. If you can find the why, you can tone down the behavior and negate the destructive parts of it. Let us know if we can be of service. www.theaddictionscoach.com 1.800.706.0318
