In reply to Sarah. Are these two concepts mutually exclusive? Can’t they both coexist as an explanation for each other? One a spiritual quest, the other a mental health one, both solved by healing wounds from childhood with reprogramming and self love and care?

The is much more to a limerent episode than just having feelings for someone. And you are correct in that if someone is in committed relationship and they fall in love with someone else, it is not necessarily limerence.

I refer you to below for a description:

I dont know, I feel that telling ANYONE that they are having a limerent episode when they have feelings for someone else is just as ridiculous as you saying the twin flame theory is crazy. It is totally possible to develop feelings for another person if you are with someone or married. Iam not saying it is right but it can happen. Maybe you just fall head over heels in love with someone else and you can’t help it,
Maybe you are staying in a relationship you arent truly happy in and BAM someone comes along and you are head over heels for them. Why does it have to be limerance just because you are in a committment with someone else. We are human and are going to possibly develop feelings or a deep connection with someone. We aren’t all crazy! Maybe it is true love or a deep connection that we have never experienced before. Not sure i believe in this limerance crap either.

I think this article is on point. I am a very spiritual person. I also bought into the twin flame bandwagon. Although I first heard the term used in Steven Gunn book When Two Souls Connect, back in like 2009. You could hardly find anything about it on the internet or in book stores. Not saying that they didn’t exist at that time, i just I wasn’t finding them. Soulmate books yes, twin flame books, no. So fast forward 12 years later and EVERYWHERE you can find info on it. And everyone claims to have met their ultimate half. Then you have so called twin flame experts and twin flame coaches etc. that claim they can reunite you with your flame or they’ll help you manifest your twin flame. Not to mention, for a ridiculous amount of money. Seriously just taking advantage of people. Most of these people have NO IDEA what they are talking about. They just regurgitate the same stuff that all the other twin flame experts are talking about or writing about. The one that cracks me up the most is the LAW OF ATTRACTION SOLUTIONS an older dude on YouTube. He’s a joke. I think he’s a huge fraud. There is also a “twin flame expert” on Quora that is always answering people’s questions about their “twin flame” and gives the same answers over and over. She claims she is in union with her twin. I think this journey is really about finding self love and helping you along your spiritual journey.

What if it doesn’t fade? What if it’s been years and you’ve done the no contact, the focusing on other things, the working on your mind stuff, you’veworked on your triggers that they may bring up through rejection etc..but there is this nonsensical pull, unrealistic draw to them? What does it mean..do I need therapy, am I crazy, I feel crazy in my mind and pull everything apart logically, rationally, and I just cannot explain it at all. I try to see him like a reflection, the things in him that trigger toxic responses or reactions from me I delve into those things and heal them within myself, I get to the point of surrender, in that I am okay with the outcome either way, I am okay with that it could be one sided..hell, it makes complete sense to me that it is one sided, and yet there’s things that happen I cannot explain as in spiritually on a deeper level. I’ve even tried hypnosis to stop it.

2 years passed
i scrolled instagram and i saw a beautiful face like a little chicky in explore.
first i wished she was my little sister, then i realized she is only 2 years younger than me, i was 19 and she was 17, so i thought wow she is my ideal love, because when i just looked at her face i instantly fell in love with her (or became limerent)
after 2 weeks i got fucked up, how? every damn bad memory from past came out,
first i thought because she is successful and im fucked up these emotions are coming out, but there were many other people like her , so i tried to figure it out wtf is going on in my brain and i started to learn about relationship mindsets, skills of attraction (flirting, body language and…) and personal development but they didn’t worked, then i got in to spirituality and ego death and all that crazy things and finally i got to this idea of Twin Flames, and that was answering WTF is going on in my brain, this connection can trigger all of suppressed emotions from the past memories, so i started to shadow work and feeling the pain(i got this advice from a professional therapist too) and i got better, (at least not suicidal or super depressed) and i can say i healed most of the past wounds because i really feel i never had those mental wounds in this moment, but this connection still remains, she comes to my mind and i become crazy like someone who is on weed and feels super high, and i cant understand WHAT THE HELL is going on right now.

In reply to Scharnhorst.

My LO was Scorpio. He was interesting, deep and in a lot of emotional pain. During our last interaction, I asked him about something he posted in a public forum about me. A mutual acquaintance alerted me. It was disrespectful and I wish she had not told me but I decided to not let it go. Naturally, he lashed out at me. A true Scorpio and a destructive, toxic personality, he said things that he believed would hurt me on the deepest level. They did, but not the way they would have a year ago. The real hurt was his post in the forum. That he would betray my trust…he told me many things that I would never share. If I don’t have loyalty, even to someone who no longer deserves it, what do I have?
I told him that what he posted had been a moment of heartlessness and that wasn’t the real him. Those are the last words I will say to him, I would guess. They were not unkind and I would never want them to be unkind. Even if what I felt for him was Limerence and not love, I still would not want to hurt him.
I never believed in Tarot cards or any of that but when I was struggling at the end of my marriage, I went to card readers. They seemed to guess right on many things, but maybe they were skilled in honing in on general troubles.

Hi Unfinished,

Thanks for the update – but what a year…!
Really sorry to hear how badly the ongoing limerence has affected you. It is really tough to get away from an LO who pursues you so determinedly. It sounds like you tried to make it work with your husband, so you have the knowledge that it wasn’t a lack of effort that caused the marriage to ultimately fail.

You’ve made a purposeful choice now. That’s a positive step. I really hope it works out for you.

As for your LO being a true Twin Flame… I remain sceptical 🙂 But I do hope that the relationship between you goes well – and also that your husband finds peace too once all the limerence chaos has passed.

“My hair was falling out, severe neck and back pain and eczema breakouts all over my body.”

@Unfinished. That really doesn’t sound good. Sorry to hear about the stress you’ve experienced. Eczema is the worst. I get it occasionally, but never thought of it before as caused by stress.
