Have any of you ever felt addicted to a person? I'm being serious. I want answers, then I will tell why I am asking.

You mean like infactuated?

I've been in a relationship before that ended up very badly. See, I dated a guy for about a month and then he broke up with me. I got over it, but a few months later he explained that he "still loved me" and we decided to get back together. Well, my parents weren't too happy about this. See, they had never met the guy because while I was dating him I had also been working on a big History Day project that required a lot of my time. I didn't have time to have an official "these are my parents" meeting. So they didn't really like the idea of their daughter dating the guy who dumped her a few months earlier (I have smart parents ^_^ ). Anyways, he ended up refusing to meet my parents and I ended it with him for good... or so I thought. He continued to email me and talk to me and I felt it was fine to remain friendly with the guy (I'm one of those people who really hate there to be hard feelings between former girlfriends/boyfriends). Well, he kept trying to get back together with me and I kindly, but firmly, told him no. We'd go in this cycle where we'd talk, decide to be friends, he'd try to get us back together, I'd say no, and then he'd refuse to talk to me for a couple weeks... and then we'd talk, decide to be friends... etc. I started to notice this pattern and it was starting to bother me. And then things started getting scary. When I told him no, I didn't want to date him again, he started threatening me with suicide. I honestly didn't know if he was serious or if he was just trying to manipulate me. Either way would be really bad, sick, and wrong. So I discontinued contact with him. But then he talked to me on the bus home from school (we live relatively close to each other) and explained that he'd been going through a lot right around then (his girlfriend before me committed suicide) and asked me to forgive him. I agreed that we could be friends, but nothing more. (Yes, I know most of you are banging your head against the computer monitor thinking "STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!". I agree.). Things went well for awhile, but then he started going back to that cycle. The guy was seriously psychologically unbalanced. Well, eventually, it was just too much for me to handle. My parents got involved and I talked to them about it. And I was finally able to end the relationship and all contact with him permanently. This guy was possessive and obsessive of me. And I think he was addicted... not necessarily to me, but to the feeling of "having a girlfriend" and the [i]idea[/i] of me. But, while that is really bad and you should NEVER date a guy like that, what's almost worse is that I kept taking the guy back. I only took him back as my boyfriend once, but I allowed him to be a part of my life, even if it was just as friends, much longer than I should have. I was [i]that[/i] girl. You know, the girl that keeps taking the guy back time after time after time and again. At one point, my best guy friend in the whole WORLD (I love ya Travis!), told me that I was just like an abused wife/girlfriend who keeps taking back the abusive husband/boyfriend. And that's not someone that I want to be and I don't think [i]anyone[/i] should be that girl. So in a way, I was addicted to him. I didn't like it, but in a way I was. So the message to this very long post is that, if you even [i]think[/i] you are addicted to someone... or if someone is addicted to [i]you[/i], you need to end that relationship. Even if it isn't a romantic relationship, you need to end it. It's unhealthy and eventually (and hopefully) you'll figure out that it's not a good relationship to have. So why waste your time? I don't mean to make this more serious than this thread is supposed to be, but it [i]can[/i] become a serious issue. Anything that anyone is addicted to is bad (except reading the Bible, being on fire for Christ, and living a Godly, righteous life of course ^_^ ). K?

Okay, I guess everyone is wondering why I asked that. I think I should have found a word other then [i]addicted[/i], but I already posted, so whatever. Anyway... I have been friends (And NOTHING but friends) with this guy since we were five. We've been through our ups and downs, and when we were little, things didn't really matter. The past two years, he has made himself into someone that all the girls want to be with (and I will admit, even I fell for it at one point). Lately I've been feeling like our friendship is just, well, fading. I told him that I just felt like he was different, and even got teary-eyed when I was explaining how I didn't even feel close to him anymore. My friends have noticed lately that he is showing some interest in me. I blew it off because, honestly, I didn't really care. I don't plan on dating anyone until I'm 16, so what's the point? Turns out, he had some "relationship" with one of my best friends (I know, that is just screwed up). And for some reason, I felt jealous. I couldn't figure out why though. I am starting to believe that it's because she gets to have some kind of relationship with him and I barely even get to keep him as a friend after nine years of knowing him. Now, I am jumping to a completely different part of the story. Just try to keep up. =) Back in September, he told me that he is moving. His family decided to let him finish school this year, and then they would move. I basically jumped for joy. The whole fact that he is moving away still gets to me, but not like it used to. Now, for the addiction part: As I mentioned earlier, we have had our fights. We have said things to eachother that I would never repeat again. I feel terrible for it, and I wish I could change the past, but I can't. Bottom line, we kept coming back to eachother. We both knew that things would never just work with us (as friends), but we kept trying anyway. Last week, (remember I told you about him and my best friend), he did something that really made a lot of people mad. I am not going to mentioin it, but it made a lot of people mad. I ended up taking my best friend's side (let's call her Sally). I got to talking to him and asking him why he did what he did. He answered. It made me angry and upset that he looked me in the eye and lied. The one guy that I told everything to. The one guy I felt comfortable with. The guy my parents said I was bound to marry. Lied. To. My. Face. I can't even tell you how bad that hurt. I would never lie to him. I came home and cried that night. My actions that day weren't so good either. After I listened to his lies, I looked at him and said "You know what. Thanks. Thanks for nine years. I'll be glad when you move. Go away and never come back. I don't care if I ever see your face or hear your voice again." One of two things happened there. I'm not sure which one yet, but here are the two options: 1) The next time we see eachother, we will act like nothing ever happened **I will try my best not to put myself in that position. He needs to know that I am hurt. I can't just go back again. 2) I just ruiuned one of the best friendships I ever had. **This almost makes me cry. I don't even like the thought of never being able to joke around with him again. So, there's my story. I know it sounds a little twisted, but I am the only one responsible for everything that has happened. I just wish I would've pulled out of this a long time ago. Sorry for the long post. -Kayla
