IMO SEX isn't an addiction because all adults get into sexual relationships and many adults may not have an active conjugal life for various reasons and it doesn't mean that people get maniacally depressed or get horny with others. So equating a basic instinct like sexuality with substance abuse like alcoholism is not fair.

Coming back to the serial we can clearly see that kathaa was definitely not happy even with the reminder of the night meaning, she loathes herself more than the other person for that night. It's a trait of people who are confident of their abilities, they think they are powerful enough and have the ability to shoulder responsibilityfor everything in their life and surroundings. Kathaa definitely had her son and his future in mind not even her clothes or appearance all this means, it's not a void but she's numb from within.

People put up with abusive partners not because they are addicted to sex, but only because abuse can be very subtle and may not differentiate whether to call it abuse or they are overreacting, also other reasons could be dependent family members.

IMO abuse is a big word sadly used very loosely, I call most of the times it could be a misaligned or unhealthy behavioural pattern of people in response to an environment, relationship or a specific individual. Because an abusive husband may be an obedient son or an adoring father. So, in such cases what led to the unhealthy behavioural pattern needs to be analysed and addressed instead of blindly labelling everything as abuse.

Also being a vegetarian is again a choice, rather than a compulsion. My western colleagues who turned vegetarian gets bullied for eating salads but they still remain committed to being vegetarian because it's their choice. I feel the ability to make choices and living with our choices is what that differentiates us from animals, otherwise we are all part of the Animal family.

Active sexual life become addiction at one point. People will get horny if they are deprived of it for many weeks. Watch crime petrol and other crime shows where extramarital affair among woman started because their husband are businessman or too busy.

Eating sugar is also addiction. Watching TV also become addiction. Most of the addiction in our life are harmless.

While being vegetarian is a choice, eating non veg become compulsion. I have seen people who are non veg started craving for non veg if they are not provided non veg for weeks.

I didn't say about abusive relationship. I said bad relationships which can be constant fight due to difference in their habit/thinking or cheating.
