#love-bombing

Love-bombing is intense early affection and attention used as a manipulation tactic to gain control, signaling a red flag in relationships.

Occasional kindness from a narcissistic partner is often manipulative, inconsistent, and intended to regain control or trick the partner into staying.

Love bombing pairs lavish attention and material gifts with controlling criticism and mixed signals, creating fast intimacy that masks emotional manipulation and conditional generosity.

Coercive control is a physiological, long-term, deceptive form of abuse causing measurable harm and built through love-bombing and grooming.
