I still love her

Mimi

Eat to forget the pain. It worked for Mr. The Whale

yes and to make it worse she's not even real

He got what he asked for tho
Abandoned his daughter for his bf lol

And then his bf killed himself
And then he ate to forget the pain and got really fat and reconciled with his daughter

watch this video then. particularly 7:03

high school/college sweetheart that I had a storybook romance with and was engaged to suddenly developed severe mental illness before going on to become an incredibly ugly ftm

I don't really believe in love at all anymore

You mindbroke her so hard she realized she would rather be a man than ever date another man like you again
That is legendary levels of incompetent

No, just cut them out of your life and stop looking them up.

t. 10 years free

It’s not love it’s limerence. Snap out of it.

Holy soy

She dumped me over a decade ago and we haven’t spoken to each other in over 7 years. I still think about her from time to time.
The wound from your first love never goes away, but it does fade with time.

literally you

I cried at the end of that movie.

You are retarded. If you’re calling basic reality soy, you’re truly lost. Please go outside once and awhile

Men are often like this with their first love, it’s so fucking annoying.
Women are very rarely like this.
I don’t know why it’s so different between the sexes.
I see women get like this about the father of their child but that’s it.

She had genuine schizophrenia and would stop taking her medication every few months and that's what led to our breakup as I was actively afraid for my safety/couldn't imagine a future together anymore.

As far as I know she got her shit together and stayed consistent with the meds and dated other guys for three or four more years after that before pooning out. I only found out while doing some late night drunk Facebook stalking. Was actually an immense relief as any remaining feelings or regrets I might have had completely went away after seeing it.

and reconciled with his daughter

Barely. She did it for money

Are you in love with a anime character? Wtf

Doesn't matter.
But I know her flaws so I don't think that's limerence, supposing that it even exists at all

I'm getting old as fuck so soon enough my oneitis will be fat/saggy enough that I can get over her

We are SO back bros

Of course it exists.
How long were you together for?

Same lol, shes the currently only girl i ever kiss and make out with

And the last part show that hes dying happy while all the people around him still reeling back from the suffering he cause. Really show how egoistical human being afterall. As long as the whale happy, everything else could be sacrificed.

He WAS the great wh*te whale
He was a majestic force of nature and Ellie/Ahab should not have attempted to restrain such a majestic creature

I for one whaled all over the screen at that eating scene if you know what I mean

yes and we never even dated. i never kissed or touched her tho i could have.

Zero days. We just played around

I don’t know if I still *love* her, but not a single day passes without her crossing my mind.

Like on console or PC? Or do you mean basketball/soccer?

Okay this is definitely limerence then dude:( you never even got to know her inside a relationship.

Even the coldest Chud has a soft spot for their ex. Beautiful innit

Yeah I kinda felt sad for him, but ultimately he chose it

This is a sign that you need to gain new life experiences, this is a sign of deep existential boredom.

You must go meet more girls and travel or something.

Sex anon.
Sometimes we would take LSD together

No it’s a bit pathetic actually I’m not going to lie to you. It’s not just their ex, it’s their first, it’s always the first.

I don't get the difference at all

Now you know why virginity is valued

Nah it’s because men like to steal and corrupt innocence. They’re attracted to innocence because they are inherently evil.

Love is reciprocal, it’s steady and there’s a feeling of care about them on deep level as well as commitment to them. Love is comforting because there’s a sense of mutual understanding and intimacy(which requires 2 people).

Limerence is one sided and is more of an obsessive attachment to one person who you don’t actually know that deeply or haven’t known in a long time.
Uncertainty is one of its defining traits, you’re unsure if they feel the same and you wish they did.

It occurs because there’s some unmet emotional need and a desire for validation (a perfectly normal thing btw). It often happens during lonely phases of your life and persists because you haven’t given your brain novel stimulus.

It's not valued anywhere except muslim countries tho

Bbut that's a meaningless difference.
Who the hell decided that love needs to be reciprocal to be love?

I don’t know brother, I have had other experiences with women but that one never escapes my mind.

I’m saving some money to backpack across Europe next year.

Thankfully no, fuck that bitch

I don't think I'm capable of love. I develop intense infatuations with YouTubers instead.

Was stuck thinking about her for years but I learned she became a single mother and I got over it immediately

It’s definitely not meaningless, read what I said again.
the underlying force behind limerence is uncertainty and anxiety.

Love is the opposite of that.
Love in the context of romantic relationships must be shared in order for it to still be love, otherwise it’s rooted in something other than mutual understanding and intimacy

Then you never really loved her., only an idea of her

What you need is a deep relationship and an openness to intimacy and mutual understanding.

You also are probably lacking in fun in your life

Yeah that's what I've come to realize with time and it finally clicked

Love in the context of romantic relationships must be shared in order for it to still be love,

Why

I don't know. This all sounds like psychology mumbo jumbo
