[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thread mentions "limerence". I had never heard of it.

[quote]Limerence (also infatuated love) is a state of mind which results from a romantic attraction to another person and typically includes obsessive thoughts and fantasies and a desire to form or maintain a relationship with the object of love and have one's feelings reciprocated.[/quote]

If your spouse was limerence-ing on another person (persistently, obsessively fantasizing) would you consider that an emotional affair? Grounds for divorce?[/quote]
Limerence? Didn't know that term existed for what it describes but I must say that Limerence is a wonderful and fun time.

As to your question. I expect my spouse to find another attractive, and even have some physical desire for them, from time to time since it's fairly common. Would I consider it an emotional affair? If it contained the right elements I would. Could even consider it an unrequited affair.

Grounds for divorce? For several reasons I would not. For one thing I have been around the block a time or a thousand so I know that what is described as Limerence isn't a permanent state.[/quote]
