We're not naturally monogamous creatures, in all likelihood, in a relationship, after the initial infatuation stage, the relationship will become a practical arrangement. You will frequently be more attracted to others than your partner, you will pprobably get crushes on other people, you will constantly be drawn towards a natural desire to have sex with other people, and you will lie to try and cover up all of your slip ups in these areas.

The only way to be in a relationship it seems is to, after the honeymoon phase, resign to a completely practical arrangement where you stay together out of mutual respect and as friends. But you have to let go of any posessiveness or dependence you have in regards to them desiring you, because, allthough in relationships we maintain the nonplatonic rituals, our partner basically becomes a platonic object to us in our heads after a year or so...

relationships are not what they seem...

the thoughts that always get me is that, even though i adore every moment with him, we wont be together for ever.

well.... that does seem somewhat true, but that may be an exxhageration

maybe yours but not everyone elses

This.

I've been with my boyfriend for over a year and we're just as sexually interested in one another as we were when we first started dating. And I can't imagine not being with him, him telling me that he loves me and holding me and kissing me, it'd hurt so much to not be with him anymore. And being his friend is one of the greatest things about our relationship, I don't think you should be with someone who isn't your friend as well. He's the best friend I've ever had and always worries about me and takes care of me no matter what.
