I am so encouraged by what I have been reading, wow! I'm just thinkin of how easy it can be lose the sense of the relationship. I was going through some of the "speed bumps" in my courtship. If it starts there, how much worse in marriage right? I recently just came out of an almost 2 year relationship with my boyfriend... ex-boyfriend. It still feels very surreal that we are apart, as it literally happened 24hrs ago. I've always felt i had to draw so much energy just for things to be smooth like the conversations (i would have to haul convos out of him sometimes) and i eventually just stopped trying, which in turn changed my feelings for him. I'd be extremely happy to see him the one moment, then be with him and the "convo-vibe" is not what I expected. There plenty of times we got along like a house on fire, then sometimes i just won't know what say around him and it feel like a balloon deflating. I don't know if my grounds for breaking it off were legit. He loves me to bits and i sometimes question my love for him because i find it hard to accept/gel with some of his characteristics. If i match up my love to the love in Cor 13, mine for him did not even come close! Was it a learned thing, learned kind of love?
