Now, I know for a lot of people, those heady, obsessive, "Whee!" intense feelings of attraction and need that mark the start of romantic involvement are a thing that a good part of humanity seeks out, hopes for, and revels in.
I get that.
But uh, it feels like shit to me. Like an addictive, bad drug that punches holes in my well being.
And the net effect is generally that I inevitably break free from the relationship and flee at some point, hurting both myself and the other person.
Not good.
