Falling in love vs being in love
The distinction between falling in love and being in love is crucial in relationships. People often stay in relationships out of loyalty or the belief that their partner can change, even when they should have left long ago. Those with an avoidant attachment style tend to feel a decline in excitement and may seek the thrill of something new. Love can be likened to a drug, as brain scans show similarities between being in love and the effects of drugs like cocaine. It's important to realize that the intensity of love experienced may already be addictive, similar to a cocaine habit.
