Limerence is being infatuated and obsessed with someone, where reciprocation is uncertain. You ponder, fantasize, and interpret every interaction. It’s not a medical diagnosis or an excuse. It can determine how you feel, but you’re still in control of your actions.
Some people on TikTok have used limerence to explain the bizarre text messages between Caleb Flynn and his mistress, Alleigha Botner.
But I don’t think anything can explain the god awful AI song played in the courtroom.
Caleb is on trial for the murder of his wife, Ashley. And while her loved ones sit there, a song he created for his mistress echoes through the courtroom.
“We were friends on the surface, but deep down inside you were always my love~”
He tells her: “It’s your song and these are my words to you.”
All while, according to the messages, the two of them talked in depth about how much they hate Calebs wife, the mother of their children, and how much they want her dead.
