Can obsession and love coexist? 1 a). If obsession and love can coexist, does the obsession make the love that is there stronger? Or is it weakened? 2). Can love become obsession? 2 a). If your love can and has turned into obsession... is there any way of working back to the love that originally was? This is going to be my last post for a while; I'm leaving the site at my boyfriend's request/notice in changes in my behavior. Thanks to all for the laughs and advice I have received!

Errol Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Sorry to see you go -- you'll be missed, but its certainly understandable and sounds like the right thing to do. Your bf has to come before a computer group! Be happy. Link to post Share on other sites
dyermaker Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 You already know my feelings on this. Good luck, and I'm also sorry to see you go. Link to post Share on other sites
Vivid_29 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I'm sorry to see you go, girl. It's good to know that you are respecting your boyfriends wishes. Remember that, men will come and go, but we'll always be here for you! If you ever get lonely, you know where to find us. I'm gonna miss you! ~V Link to post Share on other sites
spencer Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Im sad to see you go. Tell your bf we are sorry that this satan worshiping- relationship destroying-message board has corrupted you I give you my opinion on your question. 1. Yes love and obession can coexist. 1a. once there is obsession, this emotion usually overtakes the love,therefore the love becomes the secondary emotion, or in a sense, weakened. 2.yes I do think love can turn in to obsession 2a. I think there might be a way to eliminate the obsession,I do not know of any. In a gf/bf relationship I would think that the love would not survive in a healthy way. however Im sure others might have a different point of view. Hope to see you back soon.

Arabess Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Originally posted by Vivid_29 Remember that, men will come and go, but we'll always be here for you! I gave up most of my internet friends for over two years while in a relationship......with someone who was gonna love me FOREVER....hahahahaha! They are still around....and he's gone. Thank God for the ones who stuck in there with me. They were lifesavers in the end. Just wondering why he would have probs with you on LS....since a great deal of people on here are married...and it's not the 'net pick up' capitol or anything. Link to post Share on other sites
dyermaker Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Perhaps it's a control issue? I don't think we should be too selfish on her behalf though, whatever makes her happy. I do tend to miss her posts though. Link to post Share on other sites
