From a newcomer ...

My name is Bob and I am a love addict. Forgive me if I seem cynical, it’s really just my way of deflecting from the truth. I’ve been with my now fiancée and love of my life for 10 years. In what she would consider a tumultuous relationship, I’ve chipped away at my individuality and dreams because continuing on my path would cause me to lose her. I don’t profess to being perfect. There have been times where I couldn’t provide sufficiently, I was immature, and to masculine to show any emotion that bears the truth. But the consequences of those things is a bit unfair. I’ve given my fiancée everything she’s asked for and more to my ability, and I find out that she’s been cheating on me for years and with several individuals. I know she has father issues of abandonment and has had her fair share of toxic relationships, but I’ve only wished the best for her. I still haven’t garnered the strength to leave because I’ve developed an emotional codependency. I’m saddened at the pain felt by love addicts but I’m happy there is a community that can relate.
