Love and attachment: two words that are frequently used together and sometimes even interchangeably. But is there a difference between these two! And if the love is real and worth fighting for, how do we release attachment and create healthy and liberated loving relationships. Here are some ways to differentiate between love and attachment.

Love is selfless, attachment is self-centered

When you are in love, you focus on making the other person happy. You are always thinking of ways to make sure that your partner feels loved and fulfilled. You don't emotionally blackmail your partner, try to manipulate them, or seek to dominate the relationship. When you are merely attached to someone, you are focused upon the ways in which they can make you happy. You become heavily dependent upon your partner and may even try to control him or her to avoid abandonment.

There is no insecurity in love
Text him/her to see if he/she replies back immediately. If your partner fails to get back immediately or if you feel insecure, you may be more into the attachment phase than love. In true love, there is no room for any insecurity.


In love you will value the other person, In attachment  you are addicted to the other person's company

In love, you would value the other person more than yourself, whereas in the attachment phase, you are just addicted to the other person's company. In this way, there can be minor differences caused between true love and a relationship that is purely based on emotional attachment.
