Was I love bombed?

Postby jimmy3858 » Wed Jan 03, 2018 4:47 pm

Okay guys/gals,

Not sure if I should post this here or somewhere else but if not please move it to the proper area.
I was recently in a month long relationship. I am almost positive I was "love bombed". Ill give you some background and maybe someone can give me some advice on this situation.

Im 29 and in good shape, have a good career, and have never been in this type on intense relationship, I've also had a 5 year relationship and it was easier to get over than the feelings that I'm currently feeling. So I met this girl online, we went on a date and hit it off right away. We ended up being sexual later that night and had quite a few drinks. It was an intense night and a intense morning of talking and getting to know each other. Fast forward 2-3 weeks and we have stayed in contact all day long and would text each other good morning / good night. We talked about me moving closer to her ( she lived about 2 /12 hours away from me ), talked about even moving into a apartment together when her lease was up in the summer time, she called me her future boyfriend, she told me that she wanted to do life with me and I was her soul mate, and she wanted to get married and asked me what kind of wedding I wanted, etc. I was completely hooked. So I asked her to be my girlfriend, biggest mistake of my life. We went out to eat that night, had more drinks and ended up sleeping together. The following morning we drove around her town and she was telling me where she would like to live with me and couldn't wait live to with me. She was also very touchy and was always trying to kiss me. So she flys home for christmas and I get a text that morning and it said that we needed time apart and she no longer wanted to be together, the night before she was telling me how in love she was with me.

She also gave me her location on her cell phone so I could always see where she was at, which is super strange lol.

So im assuming that we have some narcs on this forum.. can one of you guys tell me if this was love bombing?

Thanks

I'm not a narcissist (I think? :shock: ) but this does sound like love-bombing. I only thought it usually lasts longer, it probably had something to do with holidays coming up. Love-bombing you doesn't necessarily mean she's disordered though. She probably is emotionally unstable. What difference does it make whether you call this love-bombing or something else? Did you genuinely not see the red flags when she started talking about moving in and life together not even month after you met? This sort of talk is usually a red flag. Even if she comes back, this behaviour will probably be a rule rather than exception.

Hey jimmy3858,

I agree with shanzeek. Does a label really matter?

Red-flags galore. The wild night of drinking and sex was no doubt compelling, and what an ego boost to have someone be so into you so quickly, but if this was a friend of yours, what advice would you give?
