[quote=Anonymous]This post is so interesting to me because of my situation.  I met my spouse a year after a breakup with a boyfriend that devastated me completely.  
I ended up marrying my husband because he was stable and kind and fun and I was ready to have kids.  There was some attraction there, but nothing like my previous boyfriend.  For years, I internally lamented the fact that I didn't feel the same way for my H that I did for that former boyfriend.  Now, nearly 20 years with him, 2 kids, we've been through a LOT together and he has proven to be the most amazing partner.  So faithful, so real, and just the best person I know.  He does dishes and laundry, he works hard, and cares about me.  
And no, I do not feel ga-ga for him.  I feel something more.  Total respect and partnership.  Yes, there's a loss knowing I never really got to have that deep in love kind of marriage.  But really, I don't think I know anyone who does.  I had to get over that loss to be able to fully appreciate who I married.  I didn't even know he was what I needed all along.[/quote]
