I relate a lot to your journey with LC, because it strangely mirrors my own relationship.

And I, too, am my own worst enemy.

This was a really good article, so thank you for posting it.

Then maybe you can benefit from the two points that hit home the most to me. The first was that unhappiness in a relationship is often more about your own unhappiness with life than it is about your relationship. And the second is to consider if your life is better with or without your partner. Personally, I’d hate to imagine a life without LC. I’d miss him and us far too much.

For me, the point of that article isn’t to convince people to sacrifice passion completely. It’s still an important element to a romantic relationship. The point is that the passion doesn’t have to be off the charts for the person to be an ideal match for you. It has to be present, but doesn’t have to be crazy. Comfort is important too.

Nothing wrong with comfortable, stable, consistent relationships.

Enjoy the simplicity of it and the lack of drama!

Exactly!

I concur. But if we recognize that, at least we can work on it, right? Hope… there’s always hope.
