Follow-Ups to Answer from Expert John

This is the worst answer ever...Guy asks, why am I so obsessed and the expert tells him he is regressing and to go to church because adultry is wrong. What is that? The guy is not asking for marriage counseling or spiritual advice, he wants to know why he is so addicted to this particular woman.

I am not a doctor, but I can answer your question because I have been addicted to many things and many people. I doubt you are regressing or need church. The answer is, this woman is part of a fantasy, an illusion or a wish for a better life. You, in your mind, have built her up because of the escapism she provides and for the lustful feelings she provides. Your obsession is your wish to keep that euphoria and control it. So much of my obsession with people is my desire to maintain the joy...if it is taken from you or moved beyond your control, it probably drives you mad. I hope this helps.
