#141: I Am My Partner’s Addiction. What Do I Do Now?

Caller Mckenna's Question: "What if I AM my husband's addiction? This is the simplest version of my question, but obviously there is SOOOOO much more to it! My husband is not addicted to pornography, alcohol or drugs, etc. He is addicted to me. It is the strangest thing to navigate. We are currently separated because I am drowning. I feel like I can't breathe with him in my life. And trying to get space from him has only made him try to cling tighter."
