Is Harry just going through a bad case of Limerence?

[Pearmain]

It seems to fit the description and would explain how it seems like he’s totally taken leave of his senses.

It must be so hard for the Royals but I wonder if they can see this which is why they’ve not cut him off, they know they’ll need to be there to help him pick up the pieces when he snaps out of it.

Isn't it going on a bit too long for limerance?

To me it's like the Windsors. H&M have convinced themselves that they are uniquely hard done by, that the RF is out to get them and they cling together for mutual protection against a world that doesn't understand their love. Harry in particular sees himself as the keeper of his mother's legacy - and he seems to identify his wife with Diana.

I don't know what's going on there, but it doesn't feel healthy.

Harry seems extremely needy , and somewhat unstable to me. Very vulnerable emotionally.
Meghan seems to him to be the answer to his prayers. I hope it stays that way for both of them . I would have got the ick with him by now, but she clearly has more patience , or something , with him.
I wish them well, mostly I wish that he could find peace.

He seems to really really adore her. He sees her as being almost the same person as his mother, as he thinks they are so similar- but now he can save and protect her in a way he couldn’t his mother.

He protects his own DC at the same time, in a way that he wasn’t protected, and he gives them the happy home - with parents who love and support each other - that he didn’t have.

It’s not surprising that it works, looking at it like that. Maybe she is similar to Diana in personality and maybe they would have been the best of friends. Meghan seems happy to play her part, and he meets her needs too.

I think he seems very wary of upsetting her and is very much more reverent towards her than is the case in reverse. She seems to say generic things about their “ love” but it feels as though he is infatuated but whilst she may have affection she’s not madly in love. She loves the fame and connections, the goals she can now achieve. She likes him well enough I’m sure and there is probably some love. However she wouldn’t have looked at him for a nano second if he hadn’t been so famous.

What she sees in him is $$$$$, without him and his (former) family, she is just another 2 bit actress scratching for a living

She has played it well. It is now become about him worshipping her rather than her worshipping his bank account.

Don't be so ridiculous.

Anyone in particular, or all posters? and why?

They seem pretty in love to me. Why are we so keen to try and drag everyone down?

No they are just a happy, married couple like millions out there

why would it be limerance?!

We're not. We're swapping opinions.

He was too young when his mother died to be able to have a clear view of her personality and character. Any woman who gave him a hug and a bit of nurturing would remind him of her.

I don't know about limerance but she certainly wouldn't have looked twice at him had he not been who he was. He comes across as just so bland - pleasant enough I'm sure, but average looks and average intelligence.

There was an author who knew Harry, can't remember his name, and he said that he tended to adapt his personality and behaviour to fit who his girlfriend was. So he was always trying fit round them and incorporate himself into their life rather than them meeting as separate individuals. It sounded quite needy. And sad. I'm glad he's found someone who he can fit in with.
I hope she continues to make him happy.

Some of you are absolutely deranged with your Meghan obsession.

He's been with her for 6 years, married and they have two children. Is your husband in love with you or is it just limerance?

This!!

Had a little bet with myself that it wouldn't get to page 2 before someone came out with 'obsession.' Are we not allowed to respond to any thread mentioning their name without being accused of being obsessed, then?

I don't know. It's possible that being brought up in a veritable human zoo with everything your parents do being recorded and consumed for public entertainment-up to and including your own mother's funeral- might fuck a person up a bit?

If the cap fits...

I think I've probably made three posts about them since September. If you could tell me how many posts on any subject I'm allowed to make before it qualifies as 'obsession' then I'll take due note and modify my bad behaviour.

Implying a married father of two is suffering from "limerance" is beyond any level of normal. Yes, most of these threads border on obsession

They just seem like a loved up couple to me but I am aware that it's probably all for show - like we all do to some extent.

I kinda feel sorry for the RF in their gilded cage and I kinda understand why he and she have left. I am no royalist but at the end of the day they are just people trying to live their lives but we are all watching them. I wish them well.

Limerance?

No, he's as thick as two short planks and can't see further than the end of his nose

And yet you obviously read them quite enough to know people will think you're obsessed.
