My last relationship I was with a police officer who was emotionally abusive and a cheat. We had a very dramatic relationship although I do felt as though I love him. I think the reason was because we dated for 9 months but I dont think we really ever got out of the infatutation stage. Therefore, it was lust. That was a bit more than a year ago and still he does have a little piece of my heart yet to heal.
6 months ago I started dating this amazing man. He is wonderful, genuine, trustworthy, caring, affectionate, loyal, attractive, good worker, would make a great father etc....The 1st 3 months of our relationship were OUT OF THIS WORLD. I was loving the euphoric stage.
One morning I woke up with the though in my head that I didnt love him anymore. I then became depressed and did not eat, sleep, move for 2 weeks.
I think this has all happened because we moved out of the infatuation stage and moved into the comfort stage. So judging this love to my previous "love/lust" this one is much more neutral. We always get along so there are not many "special" moments. All the time is special because we laugh together. But this love is completely un-familiar to me. I almost feel as though something is missing in it because I dont know what it is supposed to feel like. So the main point of my story is I am scared because I sometimes confuse the comfort stage of love to a lack of love. How can I tell the difference, how do I know if wasnt just infatuation and now nothing?!?!?
