Answer 2

From what I've read you seem to be very mature about a situation that is starting to crop up in the relationships of today. My current girlfriend had this problem with her ex as well. From what I understand he was very spoiled and very self centered so when she tried to come between him and his silicon alter it was a terrible situation. I don't think that it's healthy for your boyfriend to bring the laptop every where he goes , espeically in the bedroom. Being a guy I think that's a little weird when you've got a great gal beside you. My suggestion to you is to find a time when he isn't on the computer, for example after he get's out of the shower or the washroom. Put yourself between him and computer and tell him you need discuss something that's really bothering you. Try to be combative with your tone because this will just send off alarm bells. Before doing this take about a week and write down all the times that he's on the computer. This will take effort but if your boyfriend is a visual learner emperical data like this will hit home to him. Then make the effort and tell him that the amount of time he's spending on the computer as well it's presence in everything you do is starting to become a problem because you are being replaced by that machine. He will say you're wrong but from what your telling fourm that is the situation. With the data you collected present it to him and then offer this solution. Make boundries as to where the laptop can be. It's not allowed in the bedroom, it's not allowed at the dinner table and so on. Places where two people in a relationship should be communicating. If he still doesn't see the error in his ways then honestly as much as it hurts, part ways. In hind sight he'll see that you tried to make an effort but it was his decision in the end to pay more attention to a computer than you. Both my girlfriend and I spend a great deal of time on our computers playing games and working but we make the time to be awayfrom them and be "disconnected" from the world and connected to eachother. Take care and good luck. RRL

Answer 3

Yes, addiction is the result of something else missing and our lives or a way to deal with past trauma. Addiction to love is no different then gambling, drinking, spending money or smoking up. When love is an addiction, control every aspect of our lives and we lose ourselves in the process. Do no mistake addictive love with sex addiction.

Answer 4

I don't know about addicted, but I am convinced someone can be "in love" with love.

These are the people who become "overcome" by a relationship too quickly. A guy gets turned down for a second date and you would think he was getting a divorce after 50 years of marriage. It isn't an everyday occurrence but I have seen it a couple of times in my life.

Answer 5

The definition of addiction is a strong emotional and /or psychological dependence on a substance such as alcohol or drugs that has progressed beyond voluntary control. Love is an emotion, but I don't think that you can become addicted to an emotion. You can develop a dependency on something/someone who creates this emotion in you, but not love itself, I don't think.

Answer 6

Yes.
And the way to overcome it is to practice the energy therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique. This easy-to-learn, easy-to-apply technique will help you to eliminate the core issue-- and to get rid of the 'love pain' that most love addicts experience too fully at the end of a love addiction.

Answer 7

Who knows, they say people seek what they lack in life. I use to notice in our office that these girls would get real loud in conversation as a show when any guy walked in. In this case I made an assumption that these girls lacked male attention and therefore were seeking it.

I began bringing it to certain staff's attention and it got noticed by some employees, they began to laugh after a while.

Answer 8

yes, you can become addicted to almost anything.

Answer 10

i think so. but it's not glamourous. people with dependent personalities, for example, always need someone, and what they feel for people is often strong and confusing, but not healthy romantic love.
