I’ve been bit of a codependent slut much of my life for the usual reasons. Falling for crazy and hot and young because that’s what was around and I basically wanted attention. I was also a jackass and a man child. I own it. I woke up to God, who I speak to on a daily basis, a few years ago. It’s a new life and I’m trying to recalibrate. I’ve met someone sensible and lovely and reasonable and funny. It’s a better life I’m leading. I want to live this way, not the way I was living where I dealt with women like they were heroin. Only thing is, I’m used to a different intensity of emotion and it eats at me that I’m not all smitten all the time. I’m way to old for that shit, though. Any words of advice from those old goats with good relationships?
I just explained to her that the Biden administration is filled with dual citizens and she took it in stride. I can’t fuck this up.

No problem.

It really should be taught more when trying to find someone to marry. Getting married in the "puppy love" phase tends to results in more problems in the future.

In the past, with arranged marriages, there really wasn't a limerence phase, and discussions were much more rational and reached a pretty solid conclusion - resulting in marriages that tended to be for life.

If more young people were aware of limerence, the discussions could try to account for that, leading to easier decisions.
