I think the intensity of it eventually passes, just as infatuation passes into mature, dull, love.
But it'll have a much harder time passing if she fights it or discourages it. It wasn't until my therapist accepted me, and my dependence, exactly as I was at that point, that I was able to move on.
It was as if we were in a subtle tug of war. When he quit pulling from his side, and I had nothing to pull against, the tension melted quite a bit.
