Why aren't people happy in relationships? Why do relationships start off ok, and then after about 2 years, the end up not-ok? Why does the same person who was on cloud nine in month three of the relationship, find themselves looking for greener pastures at a later date?
It's like the Twillight Zone: it's just inexplicable.
I must rent that movie... um... er... what's it called... something like "19 months." I think I want to see that movie. It's a B-grade Canadian movie that has the premise that romantic love only lasts 19 months. It follows two people as they try to break up in the 19th month. It might give me some insight into why relationships go stale after a certain period of time.

I have been married for over 30 years and I still love him and I am still 'happy.' Not jump up and down happy, not roses and wine happy and not hot sweaty sex happy. But when I fell in love with him it was a comfortable sweet feeling. He wasn't the most handsome, smartest, richest person I had dated. But he was the most interesting. I felt so comfortable with him. Maybe it just depends on lowering your expectations?
Tabor,
I congratulate you an attaining something, which I can only hope, will happen to me someday.
Thanks for your comment.
I just re-read this comment today. And I am in a different mind set today than I was 6 weeks ago so my comment today comes from a different angle.
Tabor, you said that I might consider lowering my expectations, and I'm not sure that's the way to go. Why can't people have high expectations for who they spend the rest of their life with? I mean, I consider myself a pretty high quality boy, and in return I feel I should be able to attract a high quality girl. So, I think I'm going to keep my expectations high and see where this goes.
The good thing about saying the above is that I have indeed kept my expectations high and I met this girl that is exceeding them. Yes, exceed! Erin is a very high quality girl! And feel quite fortunate to have met her.
