Hello all,

I wonder if anyone has any advice on dealing with a partner love bombing them, or has anyone experienced it and managed to get through to a healthier norm?

I (47f) live with my partner and date others. I currently have an ldr boyfriend I have been seeing for 9 months. I also have a couple of other fwbs.

The love bombing is from the ldr boyfriend and at first I chalked it up to NRE, but it's still going on. He is seeing others casually but talks about me as his most significant other. I don't know if it's just that he likes to be very romantic. He will make huge, dramatic statements about his love for me.

Honestly I kinda take it with a pinch of salt and sometimes he'll laugh about how ridiculous and over the top he is. But sometimes it's a little worrying too. I really, really like him and really want to keep him in my life. He knows all about my situation and I'm very careful to not say things that could confuse him with regards to my intentions. But I worry I am leading him on and that he has unrealistic ideas of where things can end up for us.

Has anyone else had this and found that it just settled down over time, or do I need to have a sit down and a serious conversation?
