Some men and women attach themselves to destructive relationships that they cannot walk away from. They pathologically need to control their partners, using whatever means necessary, including money, sex, food, and emotions. They stalk, harass, and abuse their partners in an effort to exert control and cannot function unless they are in a relationship. Men and women who confuse love with obsession can discover healthy, loving relationships with others but only when they learn to have a healthy, loving relationship with themselves. |
