Will you ignore the bitter reality of lovelessness or deferring gratification and anticipate future romance?

I dream of an affair with a smart, imaginative, sexy woman ... it keeps me going, day to day. But I think it won't happen. I don't think I'm "that type of guy".

So I drink. It is a different sort of love affair.

No. I try not to see it as tedium and drudgery. It's more convenience, and comfort, for both of us, but we've known each other for 32 years, and been married nearly twelve.

Deep thoughts, I'm doing my best to find happiness again, and I will never let go of my happy memories from the past.

Getting hooked on romance can be a hazard. It drives expectations and interferes with the natural flow of a relationship for me.
