About Delusionship - I Do or I really Don't

A delusionship is an informal term for a romantic relationship that is characterized by one or both partners having significant delusions about the relationship. Some key aspects of a delusionship include:One or both partners imagines the relationship is much more serious or committed than it actually is. For example, someone believing they are in a fully committed, exclusive relationship when the other person is just casually dating them or even considers them a friend.Unrealistic expectations about the relationship or the other partner. This could include beliefs that the relationship is destined to be perfect, that the other partner will change in major ways, or that the relationship will lead to major life changes like marriage despite little evidence to support those beliefs.Ignoring, downplaying, or rationalizing away significant problems, conflicts, values differences or warning signs that the relationship is troubled. This allows the delusions about the relationship to be maintained.Projecting idealized fantasies onto the other partner rather than seeing them realistically. This could include believing someone is "perfect" or your "soulmate" when you actually know little about their real self.Envying relationships that seem happy from the outside while being unable to evaluate your own relationship properly or acknowledge its flaws.Staying in the relationship for too long despite clear evidence it should end, often due to being overly attached to the fantasy of what you wish the relationship was rather than what it truly is.In summary, a delusionship refers to a romantic involvement where one or both people are fully committed based on serious delusions, rather than realistic assessments, about the relationship. These delusional beliefs allow them to stay with partners who are incompatible, uninterested in commitment.

Welcome to Delusionship

Welcome to Delusionship, the new podcast exploring what happens when romance goes ridiculously wrong. We’ve all been there - you meet someone, sparks fly, and soon you just know in your gut they’re “the one.” In your mind, you're already picturing the perfect wedding, calling them your soulmate, and wondering if your kids will have their eyes or your smile. But then... it all comes crashing down. Suddenly you’re forced to face reality, when you realize the person you’re dating is nothing like you imagined at all. This painful phenomenon is what we call a delusionship - when someone gets so lost in fantasy and projection, they create an alternate reality around a romantic partner that simply doesn't exist. Eventually, the delusions shatter and you’re left wondering what happened. On Delusionship, we’ll explore famous cases of celebrity relationshipsgone wrong thanks to massive delusion. Through juicy stories, expert input, and psychological analysis, we’ll look at exactly how and why celebrities and their fans alike can end up so disconnected from reality. From tabloid romances to surprise splits rumored to be “amicable,” we'll tackle total delusion and denial on both sides of star coupling and breakups. Exactly when and why do things go off the rails? How do red flags get ignored for so long? Does the media feed into the fantasy? And is there any way back after the beautiful delusion falls apart? We’ll search for answers, while also pondering why we all seem to fall for the fairytale from time to time. Join me on this dramatic, slightly funny and completely real journey into the land of celebrity delusionships. Let’s explore what happens when fantasy becomes delusion - and dig into our own vulnerability to believing beautiful lies. After this show, you may never look at celebrity breakups or your own relationships the same way again...

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
