Attachment is most often born out of fear to be alone. You hold on to the man because you are used to his presence, to calls, to correspondence. But if you think about it, this is not always about love. This is more about the comfort and stability that we get used to, like a cup of morning coffee.

Love is different. It fills with energy, makes you want to become better, inspires and pleases. If a man evokes a smile in you even on the grayest day, if you do not just need it, but admire it and respect him - this is closer to a real feeling.

My advice: ask yourself a few simple questions.
- I want to be with this person, because I love him or because I am afraid of loneliness?
- I am drawn to him even when he is not perfect, or am I just clinging to the habit?
- Next to him I feel joy and ease or anxiety and addiction?

If the answers are more towards joy, respect and inspiration are love. If this is more about the fear of losing and about the habit - then this is just affection.

I always say: true love is not about addiction, but about freedom. It gives wings, not a chain.
