Crazy in love- is the crazy part true?

[sirwired]

Enjoy the whole "giddy in love" phase. It is, as everyone else has stated, a lot of fun. The giddy part will fade in time, even with the most committed of couples. That doesn't mean you'll fall out of love; it just means you will not be continually grinning like an idiot in each others' presence. My wife still makes me smile every time she walks in the room, but I did eventually recover the ability (when needed) to think about something other than her when she was within 10 feet of me. :-)

It's actually probably good that you are in your mid-30's and in love for the first time. If you were the type to "fall in love" at the drop of a proverbial hat, you probably would have gotten it out of your system by now.

While of course you should be aware that with your first love, you have nothing to compare it to; don't let that scare you away either. My wife and I did not start dating until she was 35 (I was 23 at the time.) She had had numerous relationships and even been engaged once. She was my first romantic relationship that lasted longer than a month.

We just had our 10th anniversary last month, and are still truckin' with the whole "Honeymoon" phase. I'm not perfect, and she's not either, but I can certainly state we were made for each other. There are times when I get frustrated or even a little angry with her, and I know the reverse is true, but that's normal, natural, and just fine. It's the ability to kiss and make up afterwards that's important. (Along with not getting upset with each other that often...)

Have a good time, and good luck!

I'm quite happy to report that while that might be true for some, it is definitely not so for all.

Jester, you have just reaffirmed why I think you are one of the top most awesomest people on these boards.

And here I thought it was my muffin ass.

J/k. Glad I could help!

Part of why Jester felt the same way with the wonderful woman and the vile one.

Not the same way. Similarly at the beginning, but not the same way. One made me feel like the King of the World, and the other made me feel like a foolish beggar.

Yes, I know you didn't mean it quite like that, and I know I am being nit-picky, but I'm sorry, I cannot in good conscience allow the love of my life and the worst girl I've ever dated to be in any way considered "the same." It's anal of me, yes, I know that, and probably annoying, but it's important that I make it clear that the similarity was only in the beginning, and was only superficial.

Honestly, comparing these two is like comparing a brand new Aston Martin and a broken down Chevy Chevette.
