Good afternoon Maria....I think a virtual hug may be a propos ((((Kalni)))>
The love that you feel when you first meet someone (the euphoric stage) does not last forever. Some people go from relationship to relationship trying to keep that feeling alive. That euphoric feeling turns into something less "emotinal" but deeper, I hope that is what you feel your H...and what he feels for you . No need to add that u can live without him. We can all live without someone, we adapt. Can you CHOOSE to live without him? I think the answer to that is a resounding NO. Otherwise, with what transpired he would have been history.

One last comment. You have figured out your love language and your H does not know what it is. That does your relationship no good at all. What is his LL and what are you doing to fill his cup everyday?
