Relationships can bring some of the strongest emotions a person will ever experience. When someone becomes an important part of your daily life, it is natural to think about them often, miss them when they are away, and want them close. But these feelings can raise an important question: are you truly in love, or are you simply attached?
At first glance, love and attachment can seem almost identical. Both create emotional bonds, both make people feel connected, and both can cause sadness when a relationship ends. However, beneath the surface, they come from very different places.
