[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  So I wonder what happens to the men who go through this limerence phase and he then gets divorced.  Does he end up with his limerence partner and is generally happy?  It's a situation where limerence is occurring because he is unhappy with his life (not necessarily the wife) but feels so strongly about the other person and so is then willing to make it. work?[/quote]

It fades.  They then eventually cheat on the 2nd wife.  Rinse. repeat. Over and over.[/quote]

Some people are addicted to the new relationship energy.  They spend their entire lives seeking it over and over again, blowing up lives along the way.  It is an addiction, like a drug or alcohol.  Very poor coping skill that often stems from childhood/family issues.  Ex-Spouse has an alcoholic cheating father that left a mother that was self-centered and didn’t take after her children’s needs.  Both were narcissists.  In his 20s, he was determined to be the opposite of them, devoted to family, faithful, never divorce…the wheels fell off in his 40s.  Suppressed childhood trauma not addressed with therapy has a way of doing that.[/quote]
