When your realize a love interest isn't what they seem, there's a huge temptation to keep the relationship alive by abandoning yourself -- your values, what you want out of life, your self-respect -- even allowing yourself to be used to keep someone else's life exciting. Maybe you volunteer to be in friends-with-benefits relationship, even though for you, the only “benefit” is staying in denial. In this video I answer a letter from a woman who got wise about an online romance, and has tried coping with the loss by using others.

Needed this. I'm recovering from an on and off again relationship that lasted a year. I'm finally realizing I was lovebombed, devalued and discarded. I abandoned myself and held on trying to be "friends" and I settled for it hoping he would give me a chance again. I'm glad you do these videos, I'm 25 years old and dealt with my mental health since I was 9 years old. I'm realizing I was never happy at all, I just never understood why I have an issue emotionally detaching. I realized I volunteered in my own suffering.

I am 55 years old and in the last few years have made decisions that I was totally unaware was me having become healed from CPTSD. I no longer crap fitted and ended up divorced, my next attempt at a relationship was a true test of my boundaries and expectations. In all of these situations, I thought I had failed. That I was just so difficult to love. Whereas, I was actually making healthy choices for myself, albeit extremely painful. I thank you for giving me that clarity. I may not get to practice that knowledge as I am terminally ill and have not long to go, but I will go knowing that I finally made it. Your work has brought me peace and such pride in how far I have come. Thank you.

It’s always in those moments when you are starting to feel good about yourself, or you’re working towards a goal, that these Marco types appear out of the woodwork and somehow derail things. Abby was having a good time on her own in Europe and then got derailed by schmucko. I’m finding myself trying to shake off a similar carrot-dangling online situation. It’s taken me out of character for a while. I thought it was exhilarating but I heard the advice and there is a down side to it. Here we go again. At least I’m choosing myself over an unstable situation.

Yeah, if the guy were interested, he would have asked her out for coffee and dinner during the training. But you still have to be wary in these situations that take place everyone in a fantasy for a few days or a week. He could have been cheating on his wife if he took her out. There’s a reason he didn’t do anything in front of his colleagues, and kept it secret in cyberspace.

I had a long distance relationship once. At first we loved each other and it was so nice, I felt thrilled about seeing him every year or so when we were on vacation and all. But it all went down hill when I started obsessing if he would message me or not, if he could be cheating or not because I couldn't actually BE THERE physically (and yes, he admited that he did cheat lmao, what could I expect). And so he "broke up" with me last year by saying "we should stay online friends". And since then, 2021 was a year of heartbreak for me. Because I just blindly put all my heart and emotions in a guy that I couldn't even touch physically. I was actually really depressed at first. But at just the start of 2022 I realised... WHY AM I SUFFERING FOR SOMEONE I ONLY KNOW THRU THE INTERNET? and that changed my whole mindset about online dating. I think I'm never doing it again.

I thought the same thing, that Marco has other women he's doing this with, and was planning to hook up with them on his trip. I also think the reason he showed renewed interest when Abby backed off was because he wants what he can't have. He may have CPTSD himself. I once got involved with someone online, who lived thousands of miles away. It was fun, it was exciting, and it progressed to a point, but really it was just a pseudo relationship that kept me from finding a real relationship.

There's this common element in so many limerent episodes: the tormenting (also, infuriating) indecisiveness of someone we are already attached to. Like here, the traveling jokes - twice, come on! Been there, done that. In reality, in my experience, their indecisiveness means "shall I continue this game or is it becoming too serious"? Because the decision has already been made and it's not in favor of us.

THIS EXACT THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME. I met someone on tinder and started having sex with them. They would take me out sometimes and text me sometimes and sometimes not. But always met for sex once a week. I became so obsessed with whether they really liked me it not, I lost 20 pounds in 2 months and never slept more than 4 hours a night. I thought I was losing my mind. Truly awful. I was abandoned by my husband of 25 years 2 years ago, and this crazy relationship just triggered all the pain and loss from my divorce. Thankfully I finally confronted him about the relationship and he admitted he just wanted the sex. I was truly relieved to be set free. Now I realize how vulnerable to limerance I am. I will watch myself like a hawk and never let this happen again. I was TOTALLy out of control over my brain and body. Frightening.

Most days, I'm really thankful for my decreased hormone influence on my behavior & thoughts. I'm a healthy 63 & while sex & specifically the attention I got from men was fraught with discomfort, I craved it with all my being. I spent years physically missing the intimacy I thought I'd had with my ex. I never found the balance in any relationship, it went 0 to 100 & back to negative 0, every single time. I realized I was drawn to bad relationships & just quit pursuing them. Other than the occasional night sweat, it's rather freeing to enter menopause. As for the absent sex drive, there's other things to keep me occupied! It sure makes feeling "alone & happy" a lot easier.

“Single mom” or divorced? It’s not the same thing. Mothers have no business dating casually or having sex outside marriage, subjecting the kids to your emotional roller coaster. The only focus belongs on the family. Children are suppose to be raised by married parents who are emotionally secure and stable in love, and focused on the best interests of the kids. You had your time to date around BEFORE you had kids. Now you owe them stability.

I realize I was drawn to long distance relationships because I spent much of my childhood in and out of hospitals. I had a single mother who wasn’t emotionally present and an absent father. I associated love with longing, and any time I expressed a desire for closeness, I was labeled clingy, told to wait, or given excuses. My last relationship was very similar to this, all these plans but no fruition. They dangled the relationship like a carrot when there was conflict or would ghost me. I’ve finally healed and am ready for something steady and tangible. I don’t have CPTSD but I relate to many of the topics. I’m on the right track and your videos help me stay there.

This woman''s story sounds so much like my own last summer/fall. Same motivations, same rationalizations. Except for my history of alcohol-anesthetized casual sex at sprinting speeds. 19 booze-free years later, I find after my beloved husband's death, that this behavior still cropped up in me. My only comforts are: (1) I cut it off after a relatively short 3 months, and (2) I'm well-into Anna's dating course. SO done with it.

I believe your videos are little miracles from divinity. It always hits when I need it the most. I’ve fallen back into limmerance and have been in a “friendship” that is heavily emotionally charged but is with a person that is completely unavailable and dating a lot of other people. I’ve been crap fitting like a pro, even going as far as believing she loves me but her military ptsd is preventing her from being committed or available. I’ve fallen “off the wagon”, time for some tough self love

Just left a very similar "relationship" with an extremely manipulative person. Feeling very lonely and missing the attention and butterflies, but I feel like my life has been handed back to me. Now I can focus on self-care and creating healthier relationships. Not sure how to deal with the strong desire for love and affection though. I wish I could just magically not need anyone's affection and be on my own but I really long for that feeling. None of my family members are emotionally available and I don't have very close friends so I guess I'll have to figure this out on my own after all...

Ingenius. Ohh, the perceived, better to say, supposed and hoped for shyness.... A very significant sign we misinterpret on purpose, that's what it is.

The overgeneralization part was not right on my part. Still, the writer tells us about the "indifference" that she felt in person - and, in hindsight, it doesn't make sense. I mean, it was Marco being smart & cunning but to feel that either this distance or the sudden online interest is out of character is so important. And we, limerents tend to explain it away and blur the immorality of the actions that are right in front of our face bc we get attached too quickly. Marco is a wierdo and has the characteristics of cowardice (not real shyness/awkwardness, I agree, not at all) and the goal of minimal involvement - plus, has widespread experience in what he does, it seems. It's also common for limerents not to be able to fall out of one episode until there is another one, or, at least, a back up option - so far, I haven't really seen a real solution to that problem.

This is an important topic...I wish you would also do a video about online dating for woman over 50, who suffer from trauma /low self esteem from their youth.... This is the target group for online scammers....if you are over 50, you are less savvy about computers and the cyber world in general.. The scammers perceive women over 50 to have money, and also perceive them to make for an easier victim than men....Loneliness in older people can make them become easy victims...and every year these scammers take millions from their older victims. If you had a crappy childhood and suffer from low self esteem, it can make you even more vunerable.

i literally received this video notification few seconds AFTER i made status about online relationship in general. i mean, i tend to share my heart way too quickly when there's someone talking to me. I've figured it out that not all people who talks to me is interested in knowing and UNDERSTANDING me. mostly they're just "curious" but not really into me. I feel embarrassed that it took me for a while to fix everything about my codependency issue.

it's important to acknowledge that not everyone is interested in deep connections, some people might never have any deep relationship ever in their life and thats their problem not yours ...and it's great that you are aware of your tendency to codepend. Keep a note of what triggers that and notice when your codependency is triggered and have a 1st aid plan in advance on what to do when that happens. :)

@@lunasea4309 yup. i have BPD. so i know and pretty much aware of my codependency. I've noticed that most people who talked to me told me that they needed time to grasp what i was saying and they also said that i wrote lengthy messages. i didn't realize it if i wasn't told. Oh i have ADHD too which makes me overspill things sometimes and i would get upset when it's not reciprocated. My thinking pattern isn't always linear but like "spider webs". I like talking about many "deep" things, like psychology, philosophy, dreams, life, sometimes science, and i'm both thinker and feeler. I value honesty, logic, and rational thinking. But sometimes i'm too consumed with my emotions and be blinded by it. So i couldn't see myself when my BPD takes place. But i value their honesty though, when they said something like, "honestly i'm not interested about that", "sorry i don't understand what you're saying". That's easier for me to handle than with people who are trying to be "polite" but suddenly they ghosted me, deleted me, blocked me, while in my head i already "assumed" they are into me, interested in my mind, and wanting to develop deep connection with me. I realized that i might have assumed a lot and not seeing things organically. I often ended up feeling unheard, unappreciated, misunderstood and they left me with a bad taste in my mouth. This pattern happened not only twice but way too many until someone, few days ago, gave me a sudden epiphany about my online relationship (not always in romantic way but relating to people in general). Oh btw, i noticed you edited your comment bcs i saw something like, "there's no shame in expecting people to be genuinely interested in us..?". Well, tbh my expectation has given me so many delusions before, sadly. Instead of seeing thing as it is, i made some "scenarios" in my mind which are not always true. I used my "intuition" a lot (like this video mentioned) and made ugly assumptions. But in the other hand, i got what you're saying though. It's really hard to find people who are in the same wavelength. This time, I'll just let it happen (if there's any) and not dabbling with my "intuition". 😅 Thank you for your comment, thank you for the reminder that it's not my fault if they're not interested in me.

I have been through this, and for me, “Marco” was always going to be better than “Local Guy”because “Marco” is imaginary. He’s your imaginary ideal lover. His texts are brief, and easy to mentally embellish, his sexiness is perfect for you because it is you who makes him exciting. “Marco” is you, basically. If you saw the guy for who he was, for how he sees you, all that passion for him would go cold.

I am going to preface this with the woman of whom I speak purchased a "manners" book for her nieces and nephews and offered up $1500 to each of them if they could get through the dinner per "the rules". Each rule broken meant $200 subtracted from the $1500. Sad to say, but her nieces and nephews turned it into a mockery and walked away with little to nothing. So, this woman "dated" another man in another country for three years. Both highly successful professionals. She said after they broke up, (paraphrasing,) "Anyone can be on their best behaviour and "perfect" when you only see them every couple of months." What pushed her over the edge and to break it off was that he had the audacity to push his peas onto his fork with his finger! I'm serious. She broke it off that night and high tailed it back to Canada the next day and never looked back. I laughed, but she has standards and sticks to them.

Inexplicable shyness also feeds our insecurity regarding the mutual attraction - bc somehow it doesn't feel right when we are supposed to be soulmates & feel the same intensity - and so, fuels the limerence limbo that keeps us hooked really badly. Also, guess what: due to CPTSD, I can be really shy, inhibited and easily embarrassed in social situations. Still, when I - very rarely - feel genuine attraction, I get the courage to speak, even to initiate. I can overcome the inhibition for the sake of sg so pure, so great and so significant. Whether my (too speedy) judgement regarding reciprocation has ever been correct is another question...

Can't prove it. I was engaging in a lot magical thinking too, with all of the coincidences and 'fate'. (Insert eye roll). Right after it ended, I found your channel on KZfaq. I find that was fateful. 🙂. I've learned so much, and I don't feel so alone knowing that there are others out there that are going through the same types of things. I used to feel so alone in like some kind of weirdo for the way I was thinking, and the things that I do. I think I now have the key to kind of go through and mostly rewire everything.

Abandoning your values is the price of losing your peace. Don't abandon your values and lower your standards, better to be yourself then blend into someone else. Been in some of these situations when I was much younger. C.p.s.d. acting up is a good time to pay attention to what is happening. One of my rules I had to develop was: no casual personal interaction. I realized we all have our own stuff to deal with when I got into recovery, that only time I ever got mad was when I realized I dropped my own values. Getting small minded and acting up still happens but today I usually catch it a lot faster. You do such a great job of presenting information, thank you. It sets a good example for me.

The girl might be limerent and have issues, but at least she's aware of them. Old Marco has just as many issues, if not more, as he sounds like he's operating totally from ego and vanity. I 100% get that whole 'best have 2 irons in the fire in case one falls through, and to off-set the hurt of premature attachment and obsession'. It kind of works, but only in he same way a the military used to use the tactic of 'counter-worries' in times of trouble. Like in the the navy in WW2, if a ship was under threat from imminent attack and everyone was anxious, they'd put out a false rumour that there was a disease like cholera on the ship - to counter-balance and distract people from the main cause of stress. Works in a way, but not really! I think she's done amazingly well for seeing through this guy and taking a step back towards her truth, independence and intimacy with herself.
