Pyrite: Eye of the storm?

[Zues126]

I was giving thought to why the numbers fall with time. Another thing I thought of was that in the beginning it makes US feel good to do loving things for our partner. After we win them over it doesn't make us feel as good because we already have their love, we already expect their loving responses. So we just don't feel like doing quite as much.

If we feel we're being expected to continue to act the way we originally did it's easy to feel like "I don't feel like doing that anymore, I don't want to act my way through a marriage, this is who I am, if you loved me you'd be happy with me for who I am".

Of course these feelings are on both sides.

Man, I really hope my last post gets some conversation. It's like I see it everywhere now. People talking about how they want better than their ex, how their ex treated them, etc.

There is some truth to that...but just like life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react to it, I believe M is 10% who you're with, and 90% how you manage that M...
