Will Limerence End? A Marriage Helper Q&A on Hope and Healing After Infidelity

In this insightful Q&A session, Dr. Joe Beam addresses the burning question on many hearts: "Will limerence end?" Delving into the complexities of limerence, Dr. Beam offers reassurance and guidance to a woman whose husband is entangled in an affair.

With his signature wisdom and compassion, Dr. Beam explores:

Dr. Beam provides a glimmer of hope, reminding viewers that limerence always ends. He emphasizes the importance of remaining the "best you can be" to increase the chances of reconciliation when the limerence fades.

I pray my limerence will end, I hate caring so much about someone who doesn't even acknowledge my existence....

In case it helps anyone, here is a coping mechanism I’m using...I’m putting my husband in a box in my head. All of our 17 years of marriage are in the box. All negative interactions go in the box so I don’t dwell on them. All positive interactions go in the box so I don’t get my hopes up and get my heart shattered again. He lives in the box so that I can function, work on my PIES and become healthy again.

If he wants to continue to destroy his life, that’s up to him, but he cannot take me down with him anymore. The kids and I will survive and thrive no matter what he chooses. I hope very much for him to get rid of the demons in him and for his heart and soul to heal.

I’ve put this into practice for a couple days only, but I’m feeling much better.

It is so painful to know that someone you love and trusted has betrayed the sanctity of marriage and has opened doors, physically or emotionally with someone else. What I am learning is to respect myself. To not tolerate actions that are beneath my respect. To know, though imperfect, I do not own the role of betrayor. I must love myself whether married or not. This fact has helped me.

I will never ever understand how anyone that has cheated with a married man and stolen him from his wife and children could EVER expect the same man to not cheat on her. What is the confusion? I wouldn't trust either of them.

Who cares when it ends, the damage is done.

So she broke up his first marriage where he had small kids and now shes been played? Sounds like karma to me.

Will the rewritten history be corrected by itself after limerence is over?

[fatboycarnivore]

Is there a way to (in a long relationship) restart the Limerence phase again? Is that a reason men and woman go through a middle age crisis? to change enough to reengage the other spouse?

[elindigeno]

My wife doesn't want to communicate with me and Is "happy" with the other man.

[zippyblessed]

Wicked people willing to destroy someone marriage.

Terrible character

[kevynducharme]
