DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE YOU CARE FOR AND BELIEVE LOVE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMEONE COMES INTO YOUR LIFE AND YOU REALIZE HE/SHE AWAKENS FEELINGS WHICH YOU REALIZE NOW IS WHAT TRUE LOVE IS......

Yes, it is possible, but there is something called RESTRAINT that a lot of people don't have and unfortunately when you're put into those kinds of situations, that doesn't say much about YOU, for how can you be in a COMMITTED relationship if your heart's not in it and you're searching for things elsewhere. My advise, walk away from the first relationship, re-evaluate your feelings and move on to the second once you know what you REALLY want. The downside of that is you might lose something really great for going after something that might not be so great.

As humans we will never be satisfied, we are always looking for changes unless we want a medicre life. But, in a relationship is not only the "a new person" that is going to bring the "high" that you mention. As I say, one doesn't have to change the package, if it is still good, but you can change the content. The security, stability and the other that you mentioned you can have it with a "new" or "old" person, if it is the right person for you, the one you really love.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS PART...

BASICALLY WHAT COMES DOWN TO...IS...WHO DO YOU REALLY LOVE...

I totally agree it does not matter who you end up with that "butterfly" feeling will not last!! Real life is just not like that. I think real love is a decision more than an actual feeling.

A total pig in my office said something once that kind of made sense in a twisted way.....the guys were going nuts out over Beyonce and he said "ah just remeber someone is bored of screwing her too"....
