Just started this and it seems _fascinating_.

The feelings of being "in love" versus "loving", the 'need' for some sort of obstacle (like a marriage, anyone?) for the limerical feelings to develop, the unbalanced nature of limerant/non-limerant relationship participants, all just screams (to me at least) of what we call the "fog", the ILYBINILWY statement, etc.

Wow. Just, wow. Gotta get back. A real page-turner!

Me: 2xBS b 1962 xWW after 2 decades, xWGF after almost 1.
Amelia Pond: Who are you?
The Doctor: I don't know yet. I'm still cooking.
ENFP-A. Huh.

I downloaded this to my Kindle...thanks for the recommendation...I hope I'll get a lot out of it.

Married -> I cheated -> We divorced -> We remarried -> Had two kids -> Now we’re miserable again

it is a good book so far.

as we go through the definition of and requirements for limerence to grow it feels sort of "dense" with information or terminology or just style.

anybody else notice this? or have a different take on what i am noticing?

Helpful for me; not so sure it rang true with my BW.
