This distinction is so important, not least because we can often, in the apnoeic moment of limerence, be in a fantasised relationship, a false relationship that is completely imagined. Believing that limerence is a preliminary phase of the relationship can delay awareness. Thank you very much for taking stock.

I think this channel gives the right definition of limerence. Having going through it now, making my mental health suffers. As you said some other videos pointing out that limerence is a stage in a relationship, which is incorrect

As someone who "entered into a relationship" with the Limerent Object, I would definitely advise against going into a relationship with the person. I've read blog posts that do put forth that idea, that limerence is a stage in a relationship or it leads to a relationship with the person, but it's simply not true in my case. My experience of being in a limerent relationship can be described as not serious as we only ended up in the talking stage (for over a year) so it didn't go as far as us actually being in a relationship. As mentioned in the video, the idea or the fantasy of who the person is and who they are in their daily life are not the same. You eventually get to the disillusionment stage as your expectations don't get met or your fantasy does not match the reality that you are experiencing. Even if you believe that limerence is something that people can go through together, in reality it's only one person going through it. The other person might have no idea what is happening. That, in turn, just leads to disappointment and possibly resentment or bitterness, which could also adversely affect serious mental health issues that already exist. It's good to know that there is a video like this that discusses limerence in relationships. Emphasizing the difference is what is important.
