Why its not great to be in love!

Its really not great to be in love. Its much better to just love and care and feel.
When u are in love, u do become unreasonable and have very high expectations of another person. Thats not fair. Nobody should have to live up to your expectations. Its hard enough to live up to one's own personal expectations in life.
The first physical reactions to being in love is a big high. The sight, smell, feel of the person whom you had fallen for will put you at dizzying heights. You even begin to believe that you perform better just with the sheer presence of the other. This unreal high is what many dirty old men and women want to imitate when they start falling for younger partners after several years of being part of a couple.
Yup, the highs do wear off. If you are lucky or just smart enough, you will make your partner appreciate the real you after the highs have worn off. The deep love and understanding is so much better and more meaningful than the initial excitement of a new about-to-begin relationship. Of course you must always create excitement in your life especially with an old partner. Dont do everything the same or the same way.
My relationship has now exceeded its first decade. There has been so much excitement, thrills, pain and happiness shared. Sometimes it feels like the end has almost been reached. Yet, each time we rebuild and rediscover the good. The differences used to be the hindrance until we realised that its the differences that actually first attracted us to each other. We take each meet, each day, each week, each month, each year to be a new chance for togetherness.
Arent we lucky?
