Love bombing refers to an intense and excessive display of affection and attention early in a relationship, often used as a manipulation tactic. Here are some signs that your partner might be a love-bomber.
They push for quick commitments, like moving in together, saying "I love you," or making plans for the future very early on.
They constantly praise you, sometimes to the point where it feels excessive or insincere, almost like a mirage.
They may try to isolate you from friends and family, subtly or overtly, by demanding all your time and attention terming it as their love for you.
They bombard you with texts, calls, and social media messages and often expect immediate responses and become upset if you don't reply quickly.
After the initial period of intense affection, they suddenly become distant, moody, or critical, leaving you confused and anxious.
They may use their affection and attention as a way to control you, making you feel guilty or obligated to reciprocate their feelings.
