There are many out there that are addicted to the high of finding new romance, and then when that high goes away, they just go on to the next person, and then the next person, etc. Then there are others that stay in abusive relationships or are the abusers in a relationship. Any thoughts?

Excellent idea ! My older sister is a relationship addict. She goes through boyfriends like she is changing clothes. Every day she has a new one. The slightest thing will set her off, and she is off to find a new one. It is getting incredibly disturbing for the family because these guys are getting hurt and calling us for help. She doesn't seem to care. So yeah, I would to have a board that discusses this type of behavior.

I've never heard of someone being addicted to finding a new romance; I've heard of people addicted to finding just-for-sex partners or one-night-stands, but full-on new romances? Still, I can see why there would be such an addiction..it's probably the endorphins involved in the "chemistry" part of love and romantic affairs.

This WOULD be a highly interesting category, and I third the motion, after Intrill....

Unfortunately, there are addicts to romance, believe it or not. I knew someome in high school who wasn't content unless he was in the whole "falling in love" thing.  Not so much the sexual attraction thing, but the more romantic comedy aspects of romance, and if he wasn't in a situation where he could try the Romeo thing, as we called it, he wasn't happy.
