i totally love the idea of love.. however is it super romanticized? the dream of spending days with someone that truly makes you happy is something i dream of, someone that challenges you, someone that knows you, and someone that you become comfortable with… and not in the bad way? i became too comfortable with a prior partner, my first love, to the point where i was almost bored. They were great however i didn’t feel like we challenged each other enough and while that was an issue for me it wasn’t for them. we had been together for four years, which is long compared to my friends relationships. i just felt the excitement wasn’t there anymore, it was for me but they had once told me that they didn’t get excited to see me any more and it was just another part of their day. was devastating in a way but also just felt like life. we’d grown a lot in the past four years and i guess wed just grown in separate directions. I just want to know whether the type of love i am in love with is unrealistic.
