NRE vs. Limerence
NRE, or New Relationship Energy, brings an exhilarating and addictive feeling that can dominate thoughts, while limerence is characterized by uncertainty and emotional turbulence. Both experiences can strain relationships, whether monogamous or non-monogamous, as individuals often focus solely on the positive traits of their romantic interests. It's crucial to navigate these feelings carefully, especially in the early stages, to avoid making impulsive decisions.In this clip

What is limerence?
I have a question about this episode 228. The psychology of limerance and this Managing Limerence. I love my girlfriend and have expressed that to her many times. However, one day I suddenly started getting scared about not loving her, and I don't want to lose that love. I want to be with her because I love her smile and her energy. I'm beginning to wonder if my thoughts about not loving her are intrusive or if I'm scared of deep commitment. She is going to move into my house in a few days. I genuinely choose to love her, but I'm very sad thinking that she might not be the one. How can I better understand these feelings and ensure that I'm making the right choice?
