Read More »You might feel like you can’t live without them. Is it really true love, or the nearness of them that you’re falling for? Share on Pinterest Westend61/Getty Images Pop culture teems with so-called “love songs” that more likely express attachment than love. You can throw a dart and hit questionable lyrics. Are the fervent feelings an outpouring of loving sentiment or a cry of codependency? Hard to tell. If you’re feeling chronically anxious in your relationship, understanding the difference between mutual love, healthy attachments, and unhelpful attachments might be the first step in growing toward something lasting, together. Difference between love and attachment How you feel and act in the relationship is probably the best indicator of whether the strong emotions you feel are love or attachment. Love evokes fond feelings and actions toward the other person, particularly. Attachment is driven by how you feel about yourself with the degree of permanence and safety someone gives you, based on your past relationships. In other words, with love, your person is “the one” you have feelings for. With attachment, your significant other could be replaceable, it’s how they satisfy your needs that gives them your attention.

According to clinical psychologist Kristina Hallett, Ph.D., research has defined two major types of interpersonal love: passionate love (which is what we think of as romantic love, involving attraction and sexual desire) and attachment (also known as compassionate love, which can be between caregivers and children, between long-term romantic partners, and other deeply bonded relationships). Nevertheless, she adds, "We can certainly love people in a multitude of ways, and often do. When we think about the different Greek words for love, it's possible to see how these connect to the greater categories of passionate and compassionate love."
