I’m trying to process my emotions and make sense of this loss. However, as I reflect back on our relationship, compatibility and the core of what made us, “us,” I find myself unable to accept this abrupt conclusion.
This is how I interpret the foundation of our relationship when it is broken down into the three components we spoke of:
Our physical intimacy/passion is undeniably strong in, almost, every way. This includes; our sex lives (attraction and desire for each other), the activities we do together (sports, entertainment, food, ect.), and the joy we feel while in each other’s company (overall ebb and flow of being together and in each other’s space, love and respect while together). This is where we connect and everything just falls into place. In my opinion, an average relationship may only connect with one, some or even none of these aspects and have to work considerably harder to …show more content…
To maintain a relationship/companionship, to travel (to have someone to travel with), to have a house, to get a dog, to have children (child), to go back to school, ect. The future is not predetermined or predictable (feelings do not predict the future). The future is manifested by the experiences we have and the choices we make.
Values, to me, bring the wavelength piece in full circle, taking the wants, need and desires and applying them to real life. What makes the relationship meaningful? Where to travel and for how long? Do we share a house or have our own? How will the child be raised? Religion/community and how we are involved with it? Finances?
You have sent me out into the world to find something I’m not looking for. I don’t want the ordinary, simple or traditional relationship. I want the extraordinary, a relationship that challenges and that is constantly growing. I, too, have a pessimistic view of marriage because of its mundane and often stagnant outcome, which I am certainly not interested
