Yup. I understand co-dependence. There might be a bit of that in a mix - perhaps a bit of love addiction as well. Works in progress for me.
A part of my soul dies. When I committed to my marriage and my husband, part of the commitment was to love - always love. You know - the proverbial 'til death do us part kind of love. I haven't been a saint - I've not always lived this commitment. But I never forgot it and always worked my way back to the center. How can someone convince themselves they have stopped loving you and now "love" someone else? I just don't get it.
