Until these inner wounds are addressed, the addiction and attraction to narcissists or trauma bonding tends to continue the cycle.
If you are ready to take these steps in your life, you may find yourself ready to leave behind or transform many of your relationships in your life at this time.

This I agree with.
Considering you feel a strong need for love because of the situation you're in is only indicative that you aren't in a loving situation. We tend to react/feel that way when we're with someone that doesn't fulfil us (right now) and/or doesn't love us.
Then you seek some solace in the external. It means you're lacking inner strength, confidence, self-esteem, self-love etc.
Since you grew up in an emotionally and mentally unhealthy environment this is not odd. But it likely could do with some good healing.
When in such an instable situation in life it's difficult to connect to your inner guidance as you're on red alert. People in trouble seek something, a buoy. Don't latch onto the TF thing, seek something else, maybe a good therapist, talk to your partner (no blame, talk!) and see where you two are, get his input and feedback. Might be scary, but better knowing where you stand than this situation.
