[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the responses!  The "duh" comments made me fine tune my thoughts more.  I guess my comparison is between amazing friend-level compatibility + good sex...versus...fun, good friendship but not 100% agreement on everything + mind-blowing sex.

When I had the former, I didn't know sex could be better, so I thought I was satisfied in that area, and when my interest dropped off, I blamed hormones or the loss of passion that "inevitably" comes with familiarity.  I didn't think there was any way to avoid settling into JUST a friendship in a long-term relationship, and our friendship couldn't have been better, so I thought we had the ideal marriage.  Tried to slide the sexless dark cloud under the rug.

Now that I've experienced much more intense chemistry, with someone who's also a great friend but not 100% in agreement with me on everything or who can read my mind, I prefer this.  Now that I've experienced this type of physical relationship, I know it's not easily replaceable, so I'm inclined to forgive a lot more of the usual irritations that come with having a partner.
