Love and sex addicts sleep with people they shouldn’t sleep with. They sh*t where they eat. They cross the line. They don’t have boundaries. So they may sleep with people and make things really weird for all of you. Like if this friend sleeps with your best male buddy or your sibling.
Your friends really get exhausted from hearing about it and caring. Sure, they care about you but there has to be some limit on how much you ask of them. They have lives to live, and if they had to answer the phone and rush to your place every time you were in a relationship crisis, well, they’d have to do that just about every day for you.
If you tell yourself, “I’ll just be single for six months,” then you won’t really address your issues. Getting over relationship addiction means being okay with the prospect of being single forever. Only when you’re okay with that, can you find a healthy relationship that isn’t based on codependency or personal issue avoidance.
Ever been in a relationship and noticed that you were the only person compromising, changing and giving for the sake of it? Don't let this happen to you!
Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye to yesterday...
