Limerence can die of starvation?
As a preface, I haven't read Tennov's book, but from multiple sources online, I've heard that she said limerence generally takes 6 months to 3 years to end, and it usually ends either by consummation, starvation, or transference.
How true is starvation? Has it actually ended for people through starvation? I say this because I've observed people on this sub suffer with limerence for a lot more than 3 years. It also is a lot like an addiction, but instead of it being some substance that you're addicted to, it's all in your head, meaning that your own brain can reinforce it whenever without you wanting it to be reinforced. So if you're the one constantly reinforcing it, is it ever gonna end?
