Obsession Vs. Hope.

    [Hypothetically]

    A relationship ends.

    2 months down the line, one of the partners is still in love with his partner and constantly victimises themselves, in, what seems like, an attempt to make the other person guilty.

    At what point, in your opinion, does the line between hanging on for hope and becoming obsessive get crossed?

    Probably at the point where he doesn't take no for an answer...and uses just about any trick to try and get her back...even though she said no.

    In my opinion, it all depends on the situation to determine where the line is. Like if the other person has moved on and has someone else, then it's when the other person can't accept that she has moved on. but if the other person hasn't moved on and still loves the man in this situation, then I would say that it's when he starts trying to guilt her back with him. I dunno... I guess i would just have to say... it all depends on the situation.

    I think hope becomes obsession when you start to do pathetic things to make the other feels sorry for you and want you back out of guilt.

    I view hope as sitting at home and twiddling your thumbs just hoping the other would make the first move.

    I view obsession as you think about the person 24/7, and you're thinking if they're thinking of you and etcetera. You are doing everything in your will power to make them miss you. That means even make their life Hell so they can come back to you because life wasn't Hell before the break up.
