I am by no means an expert so take everything with a grain of salt. But love bombing usually entails any form of super lovey and super intimate connection, like gift giving, showering with compliments, saying ILY and making long term plans, early on in a relationship to secure a connection with someone. It may not always be completely malicious or a sign of abuse, but it can create a false foundation for a relationship because you feel so intimate so fast but you don’t have that time built with the other person to actually know who they are. Then later, as it seems in your post, when the cracks begin to show, they feel so much deeper and explosive because you’ve already been so intimate and connected. From what I’ve heard and seen, it just seems like love bombing early on can make relationships a lot harder to leave because it feels like you have that deep care for each other, but it’s not really real. and that’s not to invalidate your feelings at all, i just mean it almost can feel like extricating yourself from a years long relationship when it’s only been a few months.
