Thank you for this perspective. I had not necessarily made the connection between the romanticism and the well running dry, but I have recently been wondering if all relationships have a shelf life. I suppose I was lucky in that the romance and love lasted a fairly long time with Mitch and I.
And yes, I need a rock next time (actually, what I'd really like is The Rock---ooh la la!! ) but I also really need romance as well. Iam such a romantic--bread in the bone. I don't think I could be happy in a relationship that was not in a significant way, romantic. Do you think you can have a man who is both a rock AND romantic? I hope so because that's what I want for myself.
