Wasn't ment to be then....have only been married 30 years but have seen what makes relationships thrive or fail....and the butterfies never leave when it's true love on both party's. Anythin else is an effort all the time and that won't work for the long haul. It cant be a one-way thing....both need to want to give 70% and expect 30% in return. BOTH must still look at their partner after years and still get that crazy love feeling...that there is no more beautiful person you would want to be with in the world. NOT just on one side, but both need to feel this.
My wife & I dated for 1 month before she proposed and I still look at here and feel that "love at first site" feeling....would not want anyone else in the world, and she shows the same. Hard times happen, disagreements and spats, but behind it all is the bond and commitment for life.
If the one your wanting to spend your life with does not feel and act the same The heart-ache is real and you may never fully recover w/out scars on the heart & soul, but move on as there is that someone looking to find you.
