Quite possibly. At first I was on the fence with this but the more I look at the word 'labour' it kind of fits. It's the heavy lifting that David talks about.

Men are very much conditioned not to deal with their feelings or acknowledge them So from what you're saying based on what you've read, limerent men can't or dont want to address anything feelings based with regards to their past? Hence making limerence all about LO which is yet ANOTHER way to esca...

I think that lack of rationality is a characteristic of Limerence that affects men and women equally. Interesting you should say that. I would take a stab and say 100% of limerents know what they feel is irrational, making their understanding of it very rational. It's the exploration of what lies u...

Imo, the percentage of individuals experiencing limerence seems to be evenly divided between males and females.

However,...

So no idea if this is still limerance im feeling or if this is something else now but I still have highs which is soo good, and really painful lows Yeah, those highs and lows really do suck. What's is it you're needing support with or is this just something you want to get off your chest? Plenty of...

But as always, keep us posted and stay positive. You'll work things out in your own time.
