The previous posts are some of the best advice I have heard in a long time. I myself am getting out of (got of out) an addicitive relationship that was very similar to what you described. I am still in pain everyday, and my depression has greatly increased since our separation, which has lead me to the path of medication (not for everybody). Whenever I start to miss that person I ask myself what I truely got out of the relationship -- all of the bad and good. When I evaluate in that way, the uncertainty of when the bad times are going to pop up far outweights the affection, great sex etc. that was keeping me in the relationship. You should feel secure in a good relationship, and when you fight off and on all the time and have drama dripping from every pore, that's anything but secure. It certainly is addictive, and very hard to give up, but there are other people in the world that will incite passion in you without fear of losing them at every moment.
