[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's spelled "limerence." And the phenomenon Dorothy Tennov and others are describing is not infatuation. It is intrusive, painful, disruptive, and can last for years. No one who has experienced it would wish it on their worst enemy. The best way to get over a garden-variety infatuation is to just get with someone else. Limerence can happen when there are obstacles preventing you from connecting with someone else and so the uncertainty and frustration of the situation is not resolved.[/quote] Ugh, I’ve had this for a certain guy for 6-7 years now. I’m married now, I haven’t even seen him in 4 years, and rationally I know things would never work out with him, but he still takes up way too much space in my mind. My feelings get stronger when something else in my life is out of whack- if my marriage is rocky, my life has major changes, I’m feeling depressed, etc. So I know it’s not that I actually want *him*, it’s that I want an escape.
