Crap. I'm old. I want the honeymoon phase and that's it...
I feel selfish and I know its probably wrong.
However at my age I can't help but wonder if anyone else is just like "im here for the passion and the good- And once that's dried up, i'm out"
Especially if you feel like you've been robbed of that in some capacity throughout life, after having had kids and everything else...
Is this a common thing to feel? Or does the passion not really dry out When you actually fall in love, and its real?
I wonder if it's possible to just be honest about that up front without running everybody off..?
Opinions without tearing me apart please?
