[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see my spouse as my family.  He is less like a romantic figure in my fantasy life. With him I have a bonding similar to what I have with my parents, my siblings, my children. It is a complete acceptance of a family member. I love him and we frequently annoy each other as well.  But, all in all - he is home, he is my partner, he has my back and he will never betray me.  He will always do the best that he can for me. And vice-a-versa.

35 years of marriage. 5 years of dating. 40 years together. Our love has become deeper, more precious, more forgiving.  Yes, the excitement of infatuation of early years have dissipated. What we have now is a calm joy, the comfort, familiarity and relief of having each other, the upmost faith in each other. It is the nearest thing of being close to God and we have the utmost gratitude for being so blessed. [/quote]

That's a really good way to frame it. [/quote]

That’s really lovely. Makes me want to try taking the leap after a divorce one day, because being with my ex never felt like this! I have asked therapists, “what should it feel like?” and there are so many over the top romantic portrayals and also negative portrayals. It’s great you have each other.[/quote]
