[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I were slow burners although very physically attracted to each other and the best $ex. I think our feelings developed slower than past relationships because we were both wary of opening up again and needed to take things slower emotionally. It’s worked out well so far and was a healthier relationship. I realized I was either falling in love with the idea of someone or falling into an unhealthy pattern with others of intense passion with lots of fighting. True love takes time to develop- I think as long as there is attraction/chemistry and respect, it’s a good relationship. [/quote]

This is interesting to me. I have a really hard time imagining having great s*x and not also having strong emotions about the person. of course there is a difference between that and lasting love, but I can’t picture it feeling “slow” emotionally. Was is that at the beginning even though you were sleeping together you took your time becoming enmeshed on a day to day basis? like just weekend dates for months? [/quote]

Honestly I’m not sure either. We were really attracted to each other but both out of recent(ish) longterm relationships and emotionally weren’t very available. It would likely have been different if we met when we were younger (met at 30 and 33). He’s also an introvert which I had to get used to - a man of actions more than words which was different from my extroverted exes. [/quote]
