What Romance Really Means After 10 Years of Marriage
As someone in late 30's, I look at this thread and shake my head. Folks, you can't apply your own stereotypes to everyone's situation. What's a "healthy" relationship to some is completely unsustainable for others. What's "romance" to some is neglect to others. People's needs differ, and not only you don't have to conform to stereotypical norms in your private life, you simply can't do it: it'd require too much willpower.<p>So, TL;DR: don't tell me what's "healthy" and "normal". And coincidentally, I greet my cat first when I get home, and my wife doesn't mind.
