The movie Obsessed is a movie about a loving couple who's relationship gets overshadowed by the husband's co-worker. The co-worker
technically bases a kiss as means for a fictitious relationship. In this relationship she basically believes that her love is corresponded and that the husband doesn't love his wife. This woman has a crazy obsessive attraction for the man and goes as far as to wanting to kill the wife.

Lee's Styles of Loving
-Lee's styles of loving, suggest that love has various styles of showing its self. One of the styles of loving that Lee presents, can be seen in the movie "Obsessed." The style shown here is that o f Mania which is a crazy obsessive love. The person feels that they have to have total possession of the other person and can go up to the point where they make up relationships out of simple gestures such as a smile or a kiss.

Steinberg's Triangular Love Theory
-We can also see the presence of Steinberg's Triangular Love Theory. The love that the character feels for the man can be seen as a consummate love but in reality the relationship between both characters is non existent making this "relationship" if any, into a non-love triangular theory. This is when one or both people in the relationship do not have either, passion,commitment or intimacy. Therefore there is a non existent relationship.
