"Sometimes the memory of happiness cannot stay true because it ended unhappily. Because happiness is only real if it lasts forever? Because things always end painfully if they contained pain. Conscious or unconscious, all along? But what is unconscious, unrecognized pain?"
The chart is meant to be silly, but it contains some periodic truth.

him: you look like you're in your pajamas!
me: It's a kimono shirt!
him: I don't want to be around you in that shirt!
also, argument over foreign policy is a sure sign of a doomed friendship or awkward family picnic.

also, Uncommon Whore, you are my hero as the thought of that scenario is pretty much the only thing keeping my relationship somewhat cohesive at the moment...............

Know what? I love Mr. Foibles dearly, and am disgustingly happy with our relationship 99% of the time. BUT. There are some days, and please tell me I'm not alone here, I wake up wanting to scream and run away. Anyone else?? Anyone????

And, Of course, then there are those days when you look at your partner, and you see the person that they were when you met them and you fall in love all over again. I love those days. :)

I think it's human nature to imagine that the grass is always greener, and once you've been in a relationship for awhile, no matter how happy, you begin to imagine what your life would be in other scenarios. What has worked for me thus far has been allowing myself to daydream, but then forcing myself afterward to be pragmatic about what I'm imagining and remember how much fun dating often isn't and how often the really hot man you're thinking about winds up sucking at kissing or being unable to find your clit.
I read somewhere that mystery is such an important part of passion, and obviously if you're married awhile, you don't have as much to discover about your husband. But I think there are so many benefits of sex with someone you're truly comfortable with, and we never talk about those.
Anyway, you're not alone :)

This lead to an argument in which I said that was an improper contraction and he disagreed vehemently. Does that mean I should fear that a crepes filled end is near??
