serenity, I think a lot of people go through some type of emotional attachment like you are having now--it varies in the degree and depth of it. Right now, I have a person I'm overly attached to but I'm in the process of letting go of my obsessive thoughts about him. I miss him, but it's better for me to start paying attention to others and living a free life. But, you don't have to give up your friendship with this woman entirely--just let loose a little so you can live in a bigger world--a world with many other people.....D.
