No, not all love is an addiction. Love can be a powerful emotion but it does not necessarily mean that you are addicted to the person or relationship. Addiction is typically characterised by compulsive behaviour and being unable to control your thoughts, feelings and actions around something – in this case, sex or love. Therefore, someone with a love addiction may be unable to control their feelings towards another person and become overly attached or dependent in the relationship, ultimately causing harm to themselves and their partner.
