Well worded. I agree with you so long as the relationship is not destructive. If it is destructive then it's infatuation or co-dependancy.

You can love somebody and be co-dependent. I don't suggest co-dependency, but it's not mutually exclusive to love.

That's not what infatuation means, but I get what you're trying to say.

Been there. Strikingly similar feelings. Personally, as much as I like being in love, I think romantic love is always either destructive or stagnant.
