Sorry for hijacking thread theorina As I mentioned Cookie, it's to see another perspective (which might help others). Its not about saying both are narcissists and leaving it at that Its about recognising the wounds you both share and moving forward Seeing the mirror image is to see the sameness (s...

Our experience as more enlightened limerents helps others. I learnt from those who had travelled through limerence. What I saw was courage to face oneself. I wanted to be like them. Brave AND on the other side. If I had an affair I would have written what you wrote about LO yet swapped roles, for e...

Good. I mean, not good, sorry you feel this way, but GOOD. This is your soul waking up and doing a giant WTF?!??!?!? Cookie, I know you're referring and addressing the OP, but just as a suggestion, since I'm assuming you experienced your soul waking up too, is it possible to go beyond LO and look a...

Congratulations on the milestone, virus!!! Friends, exercise, working on your marriage -- these are such positive things. I hope you find some joy in those moments. I understand the temptation to text. During those times, I'd put my phone down or turn it off completely. You don't need that devil on ...

Okay I'm so angry now I'm shaking. Good. I mean, not good, sorry you feel this way, but GOOD. This is your soul waking up and doing a giant WTF?!??!?!? Your phrase "one of the good guys" shook me too. My ex-LO--this last one--went to great lengths to demonstrate what a "good guy"...

And man, am I grateful for that, or I'd still be sick or dead from this mess. Sending you a massive hug Cookie! Stay being you! Learning about limerence helps us to be more authentic, imo < so sick of having to write imo. Isn't everything I write my own opinion? B.u.t.... apparently it's too blunt ...

I just want to send her a recent photo that I know she'll love. A hold that thought/stop the presses/smoking gun moment here, at least one that really jumped out at me. A photo that you know she'll love. Is it really a selfless moment because you want her to enjoy the photo? If so, you can send it ...

How do I protect myself emotionally and honor the friendship role? By being honest with yourself. Beyond the years invested, what makes him a good friend? If you were his new girlfriend, would you be okay with him meeting with you? Is your SO okay with it? I think a lot of times we try to convince ...

Psychology addresses the presentation of symptoms--so I guess we'll always fall short of "real science" in that regard. But as the incidence of said conditions increases, we're left with the understanding that the presence makes it real. Good grief, anorexia nervosa had a hard climb.

Another bucket of ice water here. She doesn't care about your project, how much you'll miss it, and how much it means to you. Zero, zilch, nada, none. I realize the pain of accepting that truth. But they really don't care about us and our lives and feelings. If they did, we wouldn't be here. You're ...
