Relationship addiction may progress into more serious mental illnesses.

 

Q : The woman having an inappropriate relationship with my husband keeps sending me text messages full of abusive words and tells my husband to leave her. She says that she can meet another man who is much better than my husband, but she keeps contacting him. Now, she uploads pictures they took together by her name and my husband's name on her social media. She is a foreigner just for reference.

A : She has had many experiences of having inappropriate relationships with men. Whether she is a foreigner or not, the mind operates the same. Her psychological disorder is becoming more and more serious, which is why she is hysterical. Thus, just consider her as a potential criminal.

If she loses her mind because of the hysteria, no one knows what would happen. She is just a social evil; however, she was not like this in the beginning. Over five to ten years of experience as a stray woman (a woman having an inappropriate relationship with a married man), hysteria appears, which is a psychological psychosis. That is to say, relationship addiction becomes a psychological mental disease.

When her psychological status becomes serious, it leads to crimes. Therefore, the best is to avoid her. It is no more a psychological problem but a mental disease. Hysteria is very dangerous.

What is best for you is to block the woman's contact and avoid her, but, for now, it is better to stop reacting and treat yourself first to form the ability of happiness since your husband might be the one that could possibly be damaged in any way. It is better not to deal with her for now.
