Recently alot of people on here, and in every day life, have marvelled at how me and David are with each other. I've had alot of people saying how wonderful it is to hear a couple so obviously in love, expressing it so openly and romantically.
I know by the same token, there might be people who read our blogs and think jeez, how sloppy.
But the thing is...I don't think we could or will ever stop being that way. And its really not that big a deal in the sense that all we are doing is saying what we feel, vocalising it. I'm proud to be with David, I'm proud of what we have and what we've built up together through our love - I mean, we are bringing a life into this world, that's half me and half him, we have a whole future just waiting to be lived out. Of course I'm gonna shout about that from the rooftops. I thought thats what people did when they loved someone.
What I am saying (and as usual, I'm rambling on in the process) is that it saddens me to think that what we have is so rare that people marvel at it and go 'awe its so sweet to listen to you two', or 'awe look at you two, so cosy together, it really cheers me up', that people dont just do this.
Is romantic love really so rare?
Those of you who have been or are in relationships, expecially long-term relationships, do you not feel this way about your partner? Or is it comfortable and cosy? If it is just comfortable and cosy, is that enough? Do you still tell your partner how much you love them, every chance you get? Do you hug them for no reason, do you hold their hand no matter where you are and who's around you? Are you still proud to be with them, do you still look at them and fall in love all over again?
A theory was put forward to me that the reason me and David are still in that zone, that honeymoon period stage, is because the times we have spent together have largely been happy times. We have yet to be tested properly by lifes stresses and strains. That once the excitement of the baby, and moving house calms down, we will settle into our relationship and chill out a little.
Do I agree with that? No, I gotta say I dont. I see the logic behind it, but I dont think a day will ever pass that I dont wake up filled with excitement because he is lying beside me.
I think if I ever stopped loving him as much, than maybe we would calm down, but thats not gonna happen. I cannot concieve ever loving him less, or not wanting to show that, wanting to tell him that, and wanting to tell the world.
So thats just what I'm gonna keep doing.
Peace and love guys xxxxxxx

I do think it's rare. I had that in the past and it was beautiful, we were both crazy about each other and got all of the same comments. After 8 years together we were still crazy about each other but life changes us I guess.
Sometimes people are different, in my current relationship when I'm happy I want to tell the world. My boyfriend is not as expressive and it's hard to be me. I guess every relationship is different but I still feel those moments of wow and I still seem him and think he's gorgeous. Even though he's not as expressive when I asked him to tell me what love was he said knowing that the person who gives you that special feeling inside when you see them across the room is by your side. Some people just are not as expressive but I think they still feel it.
first i have to say i'm really happy for you. it's great to see a couple so in love. another thing, i took a class, marriage counselling. and it was really great, i learned a lot. there are 3 phases in love, passion, intimacy, and comittment. all three is believed to be whole love. there are different forms of love. and from what i learned is that people who think that because those butterflies left, that they aren't in love anymore. when its not true. its just a deeper connection, more intimate, like a best friend. but people think the love is gone and break up. i dont believe love is so rare, i believe its people who arne't willing to commit to that love fully. sorry if i am rambling. i really love this post, i'm happy that you have that love and congratulations on the baby! :)
it is rare in a sense. what both of u have is amazing. you are incredibly lucky that you both feel so much, and to the same degree, and that both of you are that expressive about it. There are relationships when both people love each other the way you two do, but then one is more expressive than the other (like mine). Then you are just left wanting more, you know. Its like you know its there, you just want to see it. So seeing a guy like David who's being so expressive, gives girls hope that guys like that do exist :D My boyfriend's been getting better now, though. So I'm happy :) Ok now im going on and on. Good luck you two!!!
