Erika stared in jacob eyeballs for some time.
"Uncle knows? excessive love makes a person with obsessive love disorder feel the need to care for and protect the person he loves. In fact, they control the person they love as if he is already entirely his."
Erika again tried to explain.
"Symptoms of obsessive love disorder may not appear at the beginning of the relationship, but can continue to develop and be seen over time. Old symptoms can also be more visible when a loved one rejects his love"
"I didn't know about it at first, but I've known for a long time that mommy has obsessive love disorder because I've been in contact with someone with the same disease in the past"
Erika stopped her words.
He could see Jacob was quite surprised by what Erika was saying at this moment.
"I've been in contact with men who have Obsession love disorder, it's obviously very terrible"
Erika again.
The girl resumed her steps followed by Jacob who walked back beside her.
"So it will be very difficult for us to step forward later"
Jacob sighed softly, he just silently did not answer, his mind was now raging into one.
He never thought if Melisa could be so obsessed with him, actually since long ago he thought their friendship was fine.
It is sometimes a little strange when Melisa becomes a bit excessive on him, but because he is not the type of man who likes to be arranged by women especially by a friend, but because he is not the type of man who likes to be arranged by a woman, especially by a friend, Melisa was often silent as Jacob began to say she was uncomfortable with Erika's excessive attention.
In the past he did not even expect the whole root of Melisa's problem, which started it all.
Even the destruction of that night Melisa also Andil destroyed the story of himself and the woman he loved who was none other than Melisa's own brother and father.
So obsessed was the woman on him that he could justify all means.
As soon as Jacob's worries hit him about Erika, the man thought he should not rush to propose to Erika, because it could be and is not denied if Melisa would harm her own daughter.
"I'm sorry"
Jacob said suddenly, he slowly pulled out Erika's palm.
The girl was a little surprised, she stopped her footsteps spontaneously.
"For?"
Erika clearly frowned.
"I shouldn't have made a rash decision"
The man hugged Erika's body suddenly.
Erika momentarily froze, letting the man tightly hug her for some time.
A split second later Erika slowly tried to return the man's embrace with such a gentle gesture, she gently touched Jacob's back with both hands.

Causes of Obsessive Love Disorder
Until now, the cause of obsessive love disorder is not known with certainty. However, this condition is thought to be related to several mental disorders, such as:
Attachment disorder, which is a mental disorder that makes sufferers feel difficult to establish relationships or even too emotionally attached to others
Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
Delusions that cause jealousy or Othello syndrome
Bipolar disorder
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
In addition, a history of psychological trauma, such as having been abandoned by a loved one or heartache because of having been cheated on, can also make a person more at risk of experiencing OLD.
How to Treat Obsessive Love Disorder
Loving someone too much to obsess over wanting to control his life is certainly not a good thing. Not only harming others, this condition also makes it difficult for sufferers to focus on work and activities, and interfere with their social lives and loved ones.
Because obsessive love disorder is often triggered by other psychological disorders, people who experience this condition should check with a psychiatrist or psychologist.
To determine the cause of obsessive love disorder, a psychiatrist or psychologist will perform a psychiatric examination. Once the cause is known, only the right type of treatment can be determined, including:
Drug giving
The medications given depend on the cause of the OLD. If the Old is caused by borderline personality disorder, erotomania, bipolar disorder, or OCD, the doctor will give antidepressant drugs, antispycotics, and drugs to keep the mood stable.
In addition, the doctor may also prescribe sedatives or anxiety relievers if the condition is caused by an anxiety disorder.
Psychotherapies
In addition to giving drugs, people who have OLD can also be treated with psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. In married patients, marriage counseling can be undertaken as a way to control the symptoms of obsessive love disorder.
By undergoing therapy, the patient will be guided to think positively and find the best way to overcome the urges he feels. Therapy and counseling can also help patients and their partners foster healthier relationships and trust each other.
Note \=
Naturally, love can indeed trigger obsession. When in love, a person may want to do what is best for the person he loves and have that person completely. However, it is not natural that there is an obsession to take over and regulate all aspects of the lives of our loved ones.
Try to learn what a healthy relationship looks like and apply it in your relationship with your partner.
Instead of organizing your partner's life, you should do useful activities, such as honing skills or looking for a new hobby, and prioritize your responsibilities in studying or working.
If your obsession with your loved one has disrupted your life and her, you should consult a psychologist or psychiatrist before this condition destroys your relationship with her.
