Psychotherapy for Relationship Difficulties
Addictive romantic relationships involve one very independent and egotistical partner. This person thinks that he/she is able to do what they'd like to do at any time or place, and he/she would prefer to associate only with those that agree with them. Contrastingly, that person’s partner or spouse usually has low self-esteem and confidence, is dependent, and is willing to imitate what his/her partner likes. This is the way an addictive relationship works.
