11 Signs You're Addicted to Love

Love addiction is a pattern of behavior where individuals become overly dependent on romantic relationships, often at the expense of their own well-being.

According to Michelle Zelli, a London-based life coach, there are several key signs that may indicate love addiction. These include:

  • Loss of identity and sense of self
  • Neglect of friends and family
  • Changing oneself to fit the other person's criteria
  • Feeling let down when the other person doesn't meet expectations
  • Doubting one's own worthiness of love and attention
  • Tolerating bad behavior
  • Constantly worrying about pleasing the other person
  • Ignoring red flags, such as verbal abuse
  • Making excuses for the other person's behavior
  • Feeling out of control and losing one's center of gravity
  • Engaging in drama-filled relationships

Michelle Zelli, 56, spent years struggling with love addiction before finding her own path to healing. Now, she helps other women overcome their emotional blocks and achieve a healthier, more balanced approach to love.
