Hi Misfit,
#1.) Not for me, no. My "Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment" are more of a paranoia of my bf going over to see his friends without me. I become a cross between terrified and enraged. Not pretty at all.
#2.) I am either in the love or hate phase with my bf most all of the time. Either, I just want to be with him or he bugs the hell out of me 9/10 times. Such fun!
Recently, most of the time I'm convinced that we're screwed & it's over. However, there is a small percentage of the time that makes me dig my heels into the sand (so to speak) and hold onto the possibility that it IS love. I'm a moron!
