[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sort of. We dated for a long time. I was ready to be married, and honestly, I did love him as a person. He's a great person. But I never had the PASSION for him.  And that is what is still missing. I love sex, but I could take it or leave it with him.

And I was quite happy with him for a long time. But when the shit hit the fan -- and it did of course -- the weaknesses in our relationship came out. Like the lack of intimacy (I don't mean sex, I mean emotional intimacy). And there is absolutely nothing wrong with this person. He's a good husband. A good father. A good citizen. All that. But that chemistry? not there.

So, sure. It's fine. It's passable. Hindsight is 20-20.[/quote]

This. Couldn't have described it better if I tried.

Do you have intellectual chemistry?[/quote]

That is a great question, actually. I'd say yes, we had in the past, but both of us have changed some (not for the worse, just for the difference, well, maybe me for the worse) and our differences shine through sometimes. I have developed strong defenses against conflict, which makes intellectual arguments difficult, and I don't like the conflict at all.[/quote]
