I’m 34. No kids. Been separated for a few years, from a man, very amicably. He was wonderful, but something was always missing from our relationship. At the time, I thought it was because he was a man and I was gay. However, it seems like the passion tends to disappear from my relationships regardless of the gender I date. Things are always great at first, then I wake up one day and realize we are nothing more than friends who sometimes sleep together. My mother seems to think this is normal for relationships – and that I’m searching for something I’ll never find. But with my ex girlfriend, the passion was always there. I loved her breathlessly every minute of every day. It was kind of terrifying and amazing all at once. But we couldn’t agree – things like: she is very spiritual and religious, I am neither. She loves animals and I find them dirty and inconvenient. I am very competitive and career driven, she is easy going and just wants simple happiness. The list goes on. It would seem like we shouldn’t be a couple, and yet her and I had what I’ve never been able to find with anyone else.
