What Is Love Bombing?

When we don’t have clear limits, we can expose ourselves to unhealthy and destructive influences and people.

The aim is to avoid any immediate challenge, any deep and genuine experience of the otherness from which love is woven. However, we should add that as the risk factor can never be completely eliminated, Meetic’s publicity, like the propaganda for imperial armies, says that the risks will be everyone else’s!

You might ask why someone would want to destroy their lover’s self-esteem. You would think that they would want to support and bolster their partner’s self-esteem because they say they love their partner. The question is, do they really love their partner or do they need them? The dependent’s basic fear of abandonment is at the root of the problem.

For the very state of “being in love” is a state of idealization, where the other person is not really viewed through the eyes of reality.
