No it is not. An addiction is not love at all. It is just a lustful infatuation. Real love goes way beyond any of this and lasts forever. Basically love addiction is more of just being in love with the feeling of being in love. You really do not love the other person at all. It is selfish and you are more in it for just you and the feelings that you get out of it. Real love is unselfish and kind and you are in it more for the other person then just for you and how you feel. Real love goes much deeper then feelings and emotions . Real love is unconditional and love addiction has conditions with it and if these conditions are not met then it goes away and does not last at all.

No. Real love goes beyond physical attraction and selfish motives. Love addiction is being in love with the outward expressions of physical attraction and the physical chemistry between oneself and another person. However, the genuine caring, sacrificial kindness, loyalty and generosity are seldom enduring in any kind of an addiction. Addiction by definition is compulsive behavior, based on habits rather than reason and deliberation.

Love addiction is the state of being addicted to the feeling of being in love. People with love addictions move from relationship to relationship seeking the temporary "high" of the "in love" sensation. It can be as destructive an addiction as drugs or alcohol.

In my case yes i love being in-love with my wife and it is a addiction sometime i got to ask myself if i am happy. you see there is a point that you can love to much and destroy a relationship and i have done that in the passed and learn from it. so i have to find other ways to show my love to my wife so that i do not over do it. what make it really hard is she is not a big levee dovee person so i just take it slow.

It certainly cannot be said that it isn't real love.
