Interesting topic. I understand the sexual, alchohol addictions but am not exactly sure what is meant by a relationship/romance addiction. It's been so long that I've been in a romantic relationship. I recall once thinking I had to be in a romantic relationship at all times in order to be a fulfilled person. I still want to get into a relationship but one where it's "right" and there is no bigtime suffering. I don't want something that hurts all the time. I had that before and it drove me beserk.

I took a lot of time out of my life to get to know myself, who I am, what I want in life and I hope to find a man with similar wants/needs and a relationship that is "right." A happy one. I know we have to "work" at good relationships and I hope to find someone who is willing to do so, who is open to working on our needs together. I had very painful relationships years ago and I hope to avoid those at all costs. I now can see when someone is not good for me and I think that's a good sign. I want true love and not something to hang onto just because a relationship has to be there. No, I will do without a relationship rather than stay in a rotten one. I strive for peace of mind and so that's why. I learned from very very painful experiences. I know what to avoid now and I hope for the strength not to get entangled in anyone's web!

Those are my random, scattered thoughts on what you wrote.
