    A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient

    Happened to me for 2 years. This girl had a crush on me and at first, I thought that it was just a small crush and she'll get over it after she tried finding ways to talk to me or randomly popping up where I was. After a while, anyone would notice. I thought she'd give up when I displayed absolutely zero interest in her but it got worse. It got to the point of her lying about us being in a relationship and telling people that *I'm* the one whose infatuated with her and that I only see her despite us barely ever talking. One girl even noticed this and asked her then why have I not looked or even talked to her to which she kept quiet. People who dream of having someone whose obsessed with them shouldn't. The person is obsessed with the image they have of you. This girl even once claimed to her friends that I had some sort of abilities. Yes, I mean superpowers. How? I'll never know. If communication doesn't work, ignore them, seek help from friends, talk to a guardian or a trustworthy adult. If all else fails, consider reporting it to officials. Honestly glad my case wasn't those ones where the person stalks or kidnaps you. Won't dive any further into detail just in case she finds this

      Damn. I started having a crush on a guy from a friend group I was getting into. Never allowed myself to have a crush up until that point (always suppressed the feelings until they went away), but I thought that maybe it’s time to break old patterns and to just let myself get into it - maybe he would like me back? Well…that small crush quickly developed into limerence. I was so nervous every time I saw him, felt nauseous even. Physical contact OVERLOAD. Constantly tried to force conversation, ran after him like a dog etc.
      A year later, I have now fortunately woken up from my fever dream and I am so glad that there is an actual term for what happened to me. Will definitely do further research on this. I’ll see him at an event in 2 weeks and I don’t know how to act, now that I’m “back to normal”. I think I’m just gonna hit him with a biiig apology since I can imagine now how uncomfortable I must have made him for the past year.

    My limerance-antics came from my attachment wounds. I have c-PTSD and recovering. I was very exhausting to be around with and it also took a strain on me because I was desperately searching for a safe home and love outside of myself, especially from emotional unavailable people. It felt like an addiction and I believe I was addicted to my own stresshormones without realizing it. Now I am single for about two years now and I have to say: I like myself more.

Do you still think I need hobbies? I'm also in university and I'm studying a lot, that's why I'm getting straight A's, I graduated at the top of my year for my Bachelor's (got a 100%) and now I'm in my Master's with the same result. But I'm only seeing my boyfriend every other weekend because of that.
      So duh of course I'm thinking a lot about him, because he's the love of my life and the most wonderful person I've ever known. When I'm with him, life feels so much better but well we don't see each other often. So no I'm definitely not the type of person described in this video, even if I'm thinking a lot about my boyfriend. That's just what love is. Like seeing something that reminds me of him or seeing a gift that he might like. Or thinking about our future.

    I'm actually glad I came across this video!
    I've only recently started putting myself back out there. I went out for the first time with a girl, and I found myself really attaching myself internally towards her, and perhaps started showing some of these signs that were mentioned. However, I am catching myself doing this, and so I've been taking a step back to really think about what I'm doing and if it's healthy or not. Basically I'm fighting against my strong emotions, but I do need to keep myself in check or else I could find myself really going down this road of Limerence. Hence I'm glad I came across this video which helped me make some sense of what I've been feeling, and how to proceed in a healthier way, even though it's easier said than done 😅
    I really do like this girl, but she said she was moving soon, and so, I had to really respect her decisions for herself, and try to calm my feelings towards her down. It just sucks because she really is an incredible person 😔

      Talk to her about what you’re thinking before it does go into limerence, sometimes just having an answer helps tremendously. As someone who has fallen for this a few times and tried what you are suggesting, it makes it 10x worse because now you don’t actually know the person, you can’t stop thinking about them, and on top of that you have the “what if” regret. Talk to her about what you’re thinking and if it continues or gets worse, talk to a therapist. You can most likely nip it in the bud since it probably isn’t full on limerance yet

      Not to be one of those people who diagnose over one Internet comment, but it does sound like you could have a "favorite person". I know it happens a lot to people with BPD, but maybe it could apply to you as well? Basically, it means that you have one super special person which you love/like very very intensely, to the point that your feelings about the world and yourself change depending on whether you are on good terms or not. When things are going OK with this person, everything feels good and nice. But if things are going wrong, or if you perceive they are rejecting you in some way, you feel absolutely disheartened. To the point you might try to manipulate or punish them in order for them to like you again. It's like your world revolves around them, and it usually leads to extreme behavior in order to keep them in your life.

      Regardless of whether it’s going to be “true love” this time, its not healthy to depend so heavily on an idealized relationship that you don’t engage in the most basic acts of human functioning if you don’t have that stimulus. You need to work on the underlying issues, love, not just ride the high that comes with indulging the symptoms. Especially not when we’re talking about symptoms that can cause so much hurt and trauma to yourself and others. I hope you’re seeing a therapist, but if not, I would recommend you do that. Especially the degree of limerence you describe sounds genuinely dangerous.

    I've spent the past few years working with therapists on how to change my behavior away from Limerence, which I developed as a kid to overcompensate for being abandoned by my family.
    It's easier than most people think to start out in a position of genuine attraction/love for someone and have it devolve into Limerence due to trauma-induced anxiety and fear over rejection/abandonment.
    That cost me a potential relationship with someone I loved very much, and over a decade later, I haven't dared go back into that arena again because I don't want the cycle to continue.

    some of these can come from autistic individuals (diagnosed or undiagnosed) feeling an intense passion towards you (usually as a result of our isolation from multiple experiences of social rejection, then finally being accepted by someone after a long social drought of sorts).
    the behaviors you might observe from one such autistic individual:
    - "constant contact" (we can still be educated on respecting boundaries and timing messages for "this is when i'm usually available")
    - "loss of identity" (laser-beam focus of getting to know you to the point that they want to study everything about you. might not actually be a total loss of sense of self, just tends to come across as an obsession)
    - kinda but maybe not "can't take no for an answer" (we do question &/or debate to try to understand why we're refused, but our questioning is not necessarily a refusal of your refusal, we're just trying to understand. usually after clarifying the why and how of the what, we can understand, presuming that the autistic individual involved has enough maturity and emotional stability to meet halfway in this conversation)

    In my opinion if you say “no” and they ask “why ?” You should explain your feelings why you feel that way and say I need to be by myself. If you just ignore their messages it starts to become ghosting which can be considered emotional abuse since it’s intentional.
    To some who say “you don’t owe them anything”my response would be you’re likely not being the better person by ignoring and not explaining. Being the better person isn’t easy, it can be hard. Ultimately this is natures test of your parenting skills since they need to explain the world to a child who likely doesn’t know. If you can’t explain the toughest topic then perhaps it’s a sign you haven’t fully matured either and that’s okay. If you’ve explained yourself and they still don’t understand you may move along at anytime you see fit; just bow out respectfully.
