To women who love too much

Many women who love too much find themselves in unhealthy relationships. Despite the pain and dissatisfaction loving too much is a common experience for women who believe that is how relationships are supposed to be.

Some of these women are so obsessed with a relationship they can barely function.

Even when the relationship is barely meeting their needs, they cannot end it.

Even when a partner is uncaring, inappropriate and unavailable, people that love too much cannot end the relationship.

Wanting to love, yearning for love and love itself becomes an addiction. We do not like the word addiction because we think it relates to needles and drugs. Yet in this state women become what Robin calls men-junkies. In order to recover, we need to admit the extent of this addiction before we manage it.

The root of loving too much is not love, but fear of being alone, fear of being unlovable, ignored, unworthy , abandoned or destroyed. People who love too much give love in the hope that the lover will take care of their fears. However, their fears and obsession deepen, until giving to get becomes the driving force in their life. Because this strategy does not work, they try even harder, and love too much.
