[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've only seen this word limerance on dcum, and I don't understand its usage.  (Or maybe l do lol.)  It seems like the cheated-upon use it to downplay the severity of their spouse's affair.  Or someone who wants to get over someone tells herself her feelings aren't real, they're just limerance.  As if it's a clinical condition with no basis in real emotions.

IMO, limerance is another word for crush...and ALL romantic relationships start with a crush.  So why differentiate, OP?  Either their relationship will stand the test of time or it won't, but it is a relationship, and your partner is choosing to have that relationship with someone else.  That is all that matters.[/quote]

I've seen it used on other platforms. The words means more than just a passing crush. It's what we would call an obsessive unhealthy attachment to someone you idealize as perfect for you. It can become one of those stalker type of cases, because often the object of the person's desire does not return the interest. The more the person pulls away, the more obsessive the 'stalker'/obsessor feels the need to pursue that person. So no, not a healthy crush or romantic situation at all.[/quote]
