[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the two posts on meditation/not getting hooked into your thoughts are the way to go. By continuing to ruminate on him everytime he pops into your head, you are feeding the beast. He pops into your head? Oh, hi, thought ,you say. Back to focus on what you were originally doing. The thought will fade away. Repeat each time it happens.[/quote]

But it happens every day multiple times a day… [/quote]

What we resist, persists.

Try to observe the thoughts like they're happening to someone else. They're just thoughts. Of course we like the hormones associated with falling in love. Of course those fade in a long term marriage. These facts don't have to have any great meaning.

Just be kind and compassionate to yourself. "These feelings make sense. It's fun to fall in love. But the goal of love is just to end up where I already am . . . in a mature, committed, lifelong relationship. I already have what I want. I release these feelings without judgment."[/quote]
