I read the article. the author seems majorly confused, in that he is using the term "love addiction", which is really a horrendous term that shows a complete lack of understanding of what love is. At the same time, he provides a pointer to his old book in which he explains how not to confuse love with obsession, which shows that he does understand what love is, or at least did understand ten years ago when he wrote the book.

Given that the book has been available for almost a decade and Amazon has 11 reviews only, it does not seem to be so popular; still, most reviews are positive and perhaps it is worth reading the book for you. Why he even started talking about so-called love addiction when there is the term "codependency" is beyond me. Why could not he just talk about codependency, which seems to be something he knows a whole lot about?..

Anyway, in your case, being single for now seems to be the best strategy. And as long as you are on the right track, what words are used does not matter very much.
