I Believe Marriage Is More Than a Piece of Paper

This is a repetitive theme in my relationship posts, so apologies for going over the same points.

It is possible to be attracted to somebody while supporting them.

It is possible to be attracted to somebody while consoling them.

It is possible to be attracted to somebody while caring about them.

But

It is not possible to be attracted to somebody while caring for them.

There's a difference. A startling difference.

I do not know the details but if you are a full time carer are you getting respite? I know a couple who says this really helps their relationship and keeps the sexy times alive

It's not so severe. Generally we're fit and healthy and I'm very lucky.

What's frustrating is that she is a functioning adult who works and has lived on three continents... but then suddenly can't fill in a form about herself without me sitting with her telling her which buttons to press... because she's bizarrely upset that she has a new awesome exciting job :/

What's the difference?

The same difference between you thinking about someone and thinking for someone.

In the second case they've stopped taking responsibility for themselves and you've had to take over.
