How do you go from a love bombing relationship

To something 'normal'
No continuous texting, early declarations of like love and lust straight away.
A chat every evening when we are not busy, texting now and again throughout the day .

Busy in his own life but still attentive and v interested?
It's all new to me.
I mistook love bombing for genuine care and kindness until I realised it was a way of reeling me in.
Nine months later ... I've met a man who is interested , attentive and seems genuinely wanting something special but at a normal
Rate .
It feels strange

Yeah it can be jarring. Especially when you compare the early ‘honeymoon’ stage.

For me, I go back to when the ‘switch’ happened from the intense love bombing to disinterest. It was so sudden, it was a shock.

Now I actually appreciate the steady relationship, where the stability, no exaggerations and genuine kindness, maturity love and support is there and grows.

Hope that helps.
