A Lesbian Infatuation - Or Is It Love?
How can we avoid this vicious circle of toxic love?
Therapist: "What brings you in today?"
Love-Sick Lesbian (LSL): "I can't take it anymore...I love her so much but she plays with my heart..."
Therapist: "Tell me more about this love."
LSL: "It's been going on for years and I don't know how to get over it... I don't know if this is love or an obsession... or am I just crazy?"
Therapist: "Maybe it's all of the above... mixed in with a little Infatuation."
LSL: "Help me. Can you please help me get over her?"
Funny? It is not meant to be. Every day I get at least one email from a woman sharing this exact thought process. She is telling me in great detail about a woman -- sometimes even more than one -- she cannot let go of and has been holding onto for months, if not years. It's unimaginable the time and energy we put into our "unforgettable" loves. UNIMAGINABLE, not only in feelings and emotions, but sometimes sacrificing other relationships and financial goals.
