Hi all,
I am 23yo male and always had a problem with my relationships. At least I think it is a problem.
At first it starts with fireworks. I am in love. The initial attraction of course wears of after some time, but I think it gets much worse for me. After a longer time in relationship I don't feel these butterflies. At all. After every hit I take in a fight, my "level of butterflies" drops by a small amount. Eventually I feel none.
I do think I love my girlfriend and we are connected on very deep level, but something is missing for me. I don't have thoughts like "I am sure I want to spend the rest of my life with this girl", "That will be my future wife".
Is the TV "over-romanticizing" everything? Maybe I didn't find the right girl? Or am I really messed up?
