codependency

how do you mean? I would think it would be a one way dependency.....
Seems to me in most situations like this, one person is emotionally invested, the other, not so much....

Narcissistic?

what psychological illness would cause someone to not be able to deal with rejection?

It has always been my observation that the key difference between what is perceived as "romantic" and "creepy" is how physically attractive the persistent individual is.

Codependence has a specific meaning in psychological parlance.

There is much information out there for you to look up. Codependents often get together with counterdependents and end up in push-pull relationships. One feels abandoned and the other feels smothered.

right, so the question is, what is the personality "defect" that makes someone stalk or otherwise obsess on someone that doesn't not want them....

 

[Bonzi]

I ask because I saw a program on Dateline Investigation Discovery about a Dr.
He had a live in mate.
He had a co-worker he was close with, and would have sexual affairs with.
The Dr. continue with the co-worker though he had no intention of leaving the mate.
Co-worker goes off the deep end, buying him lavish gifts, buying things like he has, etc. Even offered to have a baby with him and so on..... ultimately, she drugged him with ethylene glycol (I guess figuring if she can't have him, no one can).....

Maybe I should ask Mr. Lucy? He just say point one could be Erotomania Complex.

Hey Bonzi, you sure you want to carry on with this question?
