Yea, but look at one reason why you're so Deeply in love w/ them...b/c they are unavailable and "checking out."
I'm not going to say that's the only reason...but it's a HUGE factor.
Yep, you got that. When I was with w, I didn't appreciate what I had. When she's unavailable, I am suddenly "deeply in love." Of course I was before, but it seems to have a desperate edge to it now, that as you point out I need to get rid of by detachment.
I don't think detaching means falling out of love, does it? That's probably my fear. That's probably unfounded. I guess you can detach from being involved in the drama of a child's tantrum and maintain love for them.
