I’m not required to respond and manage outcomes, so I can sit with the memory and reflect on whether I see any patterns. This is what I found.
Romantic love doesn’t disappear entirely over time, but when it’s a struggle to connect and agree, it does mutate.
In some ways, it’s like a rock you have to protect from water. When it rains continuously in your relationship, how do you stop the inevitable erosion? For me, once love receded, it’s was near impossible to recapture. I was hurt and wary.
To keep love safe, you need the deep compatibility and mutual strength of real partners.
