Greetings everyone. I'm on here because I have no idea where else to put the problem that I'm dealing with right now.
I have a crush on someone that I go to treatment with. And I know there's no way I can have them because I have sworn a life of abstinence.
I know that God has a plan for me outside the purpose of romantic love which I believe is to do one of two things either get married and have children or get married and not have children and stay with your partner.
I know that there's no way I'm getting married or having this person.
Many years back I had a crush on a therapist and we worked through that by my therapist setting boundaries and me respecting them and setting my own.
We have a good relationship today as therapist and client because there are boundaries.
I know that I can accomplish the same thing with this new thing.
Maybe there's a part of me that's still addicted to drama and glorifying being limerent forever towards this person.
I also know where limerence has taken me.
A very bad place.
Thank you for letting me participate.

You have control, more control than you know yet.focus on your MO. you stick with your abstinence and love God.He made you and me and your crush. They are your sister or brother. Stay platonic. Your feelings are not necessarily to follow! God has a plan for you. Go within and find it
