We get along so much better when we’re drunk

They say when you’re drunk, the real person comes out. I was a bit concerned about my wife and I possibly fighting more since we’ve been a bit dysfunctional these last few months… But we’re both drinking tonight and we’ve been getting along so very well. It makes me feel happy, but when I stop and think about it, it makes me sad. Why do we have to be drunk to be all lovey-dovey like we used to? If this is how we still feel about each other deep down, why can’t it come back up to the surface when we’re perfectly sober again? I know what’s really getting in the way but I’m not gonna say what right now. Just that I really miss this and hope we can get back to this without having to drink again.
