20. Differentiating Love Bombing from the Honeymoon Period

Rakel Colina

While love bombing and the honeymoon period share some similarities, they diverge in their underlying intentions. During the honeymoon phase, both partners are happy, excited, and discovering each other in a relationship that is flourishing. However, it's essential to assess whether you still feel like yourself and seek the perspective of your support system. Friends, family, or trusted individuals can provide valuable insights into whether you have changed significantly since the start of the relationship.

Moreover, pay attention to how your partner speaks and treats others, as it can be indicative of their character. Love bombers tend to put others down while elevating you, creating an illusion of your uniqueness to manipulate your emotions. Testing your partner's response to opposing opinions can also reveal how they handle disagreement and opposition.
