My husband has been in EA for about 3 years. I and our friends watched as it started and could not stop it from happening. It is terrible. He says it is no longer but I know it is. Possibly more one sided but she still shows enough interest to keep him trying. Might have recently broken it off as a depression seems to have set it. I believe the EA is worst because they never do it and always wonder. Its always there. They stopped tor months and our relationship was better but now it seems to have started back up full force. Its tough. Get ready for a long tough ride.
