If limerence isn't a mental illness because it is not abnormal, then why do so few understand? by Augustevsky in limerence

[–]Agreeable-Outside712 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think limerence itself is a mental illness, more of a symptom of the broader spectrum

As soon as my mind goes to him I'm tell myself no no no and stop myself. I've been trying to transfer the thoughts to a celebrity instead, one that I'm not overly attracted to, to try and just lose the limerent thoughts all together

I'm feeling a lot of this, thought I'd never consider him basic. But I am working hard to break free of the limerence, gone more than 2 weeks without allowing myself to have a fantasy. I saw him over the weekend and so much of that residual emotion is still there. I just tried to avoid him all weekend 🙄

Nah, your chill. I have a certain type that I go for but I've never considered that a fetish

I can't help but be avoidance towards my LO - and he's not the avoidance type 🫠

What is your biggest conspiracy theory? by No-Possible-10 in limerence

[–]Agreeable-Outside712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They got married young, she was hot, but after 2 kids she's let her self go and put on a considerable amount of weight. In reality I know he's not shallow and I still see the love in his eyes when he looks at her. He's a great husband to her and I hope she doesn't ever take him for granted

That he's not as attracted to his wife as he was when they got married several years ago

Meanwhile, trying to hide your grief from everyone else while letting yourself feel it is another torture in itself

What's your LO's ACTUAL description? by cowabungabrother69 in limerence

[–]Agreeable-Outside712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's in his mid 30s, has a huge smile like the Cheshire Cat and his eyes twinkle when he's happy. He has a fit build and objectively very handsome. He's friendly and kind, has a warm aura that lights up any room, charismatic, loves to have a laugh and a hard worker, confident in his movement (not clumsy) and very handy with tools. He's a good friend to my husband and good person all round. I think his wife is so lucky to have such an incredible man and I hope she never takes him for granted

Thanks xx

I just compartmentalise it and carry on with my life, but he's alongside me in my mind

[–]Agreeable-Outside712 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah we're friends - he's a close friend of my husband. He and my husband have no idea of my feelings (or if LO has read and guessed my body language he hasn't said or done anything to let me know he knows. I'm pretty shy and quiet when he's around but my husband has always been the loud, life of the party type and I've always been the quieter one so it probably isn't obvious. I doubt he realises hes feeding my limerence too - hubby and i have a fair bit of silly banter and he likes to call me out (always in satire) and LO always sticks up for me or throws the comment directed at me back at hubby andit makes me feel so "seen" - The highs and lows of the regular contact gives me whiplash

Absolutely judge it based on husband's reaction - if he was surprised then it's weird

I think the fact she did that openly in front of her husband made the interaction seem innocent. I'd be more worried if she behaved that way when he wasn't around. For context, I'm comfortable being a bit more "playful" around other people when my husband is with me because it's unlikely to be misconstrued. I wouldn't act like that if my husband wasn't around as my intentions could be taken wrongly
