@marriedtherapists: *David had an emotional affair caused by limerence (an obsessive infatuation akin to an addiction) that was not reciprocated by the other woman (the limerent object) & this is Ruth’s experience of how she dealt with it* If you’ve experienced this we’d love to hear how you overcame it! Check out our Limerence playlist for more TikToks on Limerence and what it is! #l#limerencel#limerencedisorderl#limerenceexplainedm#marriedtherapistst#therapistsc#couplestherapyr#relationshipadvicea#addictionrecovery
Let's not give it another name. Its a Crush. An intense one, but still a crush.

My Ex Husband had a string of emotional relationships with younger women & in the end, he just wasn’t worth it & it ended our 27 year marriage & I still do a happy dance I’m free of it.

i’m so over the betrayed partner having to emotionally coddle the betrayer. The Betrayed needs a soft place to heal and the betrayer should be that at minimum

My BF had limerence for me & thought I was his soulmate. Left his wife and we spent the whole first year of our relationship arguing, I imagine he regretted it! Relationships from limerence don’t work

I’m so confused, he got limerence for his wife? Or was it for someone else?

That seems unfair. What work did HE do? My husband did this last year after his parents died and he does nothing to change.

How do you get diagnosed with that? It just sounds like another Word for being in love with someone? And in this case its stamped as ”limerence” because its someone other than his wife?🤔

So the “limerence” was not for the wife but some other woman?! Nope- he would be out the door, cases following!!

I think- you’re extremely lucky to have married such an emotionally intelligent woman. I can’t help but wonder if you got your cake, ate it & left the washing up to your seething but understanding-
