OK, so at one point it WAS my thread and I have some questions up for discussion from you wise long time DBer's-

Define conditions? What's the difference between conditions & expectations? Aren't there just unspoken conditions that we all have?
When H and I dated we talked about long term expectations of each other, what we each felt would keep desire & passion strong, both physical, emotional & intelectual needs that we must meet for each other. Somehow I have related this to "conditions" that we set that if you want x then y must be present. I am not sure I am making any sense and I am starting to feel like I and my H are weird or something
