Hands up those who are attached. Do you remember the time when you felt the first inkling of emotion for that special guy/girl? How when it first struck you full in the face, that rush of emotion? The trembling effect on your knees whenever the One came within 5 yards?
One can't deny the natural high from planning to pursue, or actually pursuing, the object of one's affection. The thrill of going after someone is quite different from the actual feeling of being with someone, something that has always been glossed over by the media. Most view the passage of wooing said love interest as a means to an end, but I'm beginning to think that's not all it's cracked up to be.
Think about it. Once attached, one can't legitimately chase someone else, without a clear and utter lack of morals (in which case, I have nothing to say). Of course, you're not supposed to want to chase someone else, one of the fundamental aspects of a relationship is exclusivity. In other words, you are hers and she is yours, period. That's why some people can't commit to a relationship... they don't want to be tied down to a singular person.
Unlike the picture painted by romantic movies, life with your girl/boyfriend isn't always romantic music and sweet nothings. It's amazingly like normal life, except you now have someone else to think about other than your personal self. Life still goes on, with all the mundane stuff. No more wondering about whether that cute girl two rows down in the lecture might fancy you, or something equivalent. Where's the spark, the anxiety of making a move on someone?
So should we all be swinging singles? Hardly. The experts who advocate freshness in a marriage, i.e trying to date your wife all over again, can't really say it here because a relationship isn't as secure, or in other words as boring as marriage. No morals to be learnt here, for once.
Life is a journey, and occasionally the trip itself becomes more attractive than the destination. That unfortunately, is the sad truth for many estranged couples.
