pandagirl Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Is this just a fundamental personality trait? That some people crave and need the feelings of excitement and infatuation to feel like they are "in love"? I have definitely felt this way about people... when I was much, much younger. These days, I cherish the feelings of steadfast adoration and loving stability. Yet, it seems this is why people have affairs, cheat, etc -- they apparently meet someone who makes them feel "alive." I wonder why this happens. To me, it seems like it's some sort of need for validation? Or is it just a base human need to feel this way? 1
xxoo Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Is this just a fundamental personality trait? That some people crave and need the feelings of excitement and infatuation to feel like they are "in love"? I wouldn't put passion and feeling in love in the same box as excitement and infatuation. Are you asking specifically about the new relationship type of rush? Or someone holding out for a partner they feel passion and "in love" with? I feel the latter for my H of many years, and wouldn't marry for less. 3
Titanwolf Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I wouldn't put passion and feeling in love in the same box as excitement and infatuation. You know what?, you make a very good point there. I always assumed that they were one in the same, but now I think about it, it's the latter that causes me to roll my eyes, not the former. Thank you for that
