Now you may ask yourself "what weird type of relationship does this guy want?" You would be surprised to know that I just seek what used to be a normal relationship. The type of relationship that was easy to find before I was married and divorced, where you met hit it off and were an item until you were not anymore but both parties putting in the effort and the hope that it will last forever.
What I see these days is people just passing time(and not much of that). people who want to be in a relationship but put it at the bottom of their to-do list when they have one. What I see is people who seek long term relationships but treat their partners like a friend with benefits(a few calls here and there and a hookup on the weekends).
Well I find that sad. I seek love in it's purest form, not based on my wealth or status, not love that takes baby steps but a love that starts with passion and molds and blends us into a symbiotic bliss. I want a mate that I can spend most of my free time with, hanging out, talking about everything, hump like bunnies and basically enjoy life together. And most important a mate who is just as happy with me as I am with her.
Do any of you ever feel this way? and do you think this type of relationship is even possible in a time where everyone seems to be raised to be self centered or believe that love is the least important part of their life.

While I think you might be a bit overly idealistic, I share your general sentiments.

Yes the things you want seem a " normal " marriage but the things you have observed is certainly not a normal marriage.

EVERYONE I know that's married has a normal marriage and is done purely out of love, honestly the marriages you've described I don't doubt they exist but I can't think of a couple that are like that mate.

The only reason I can see either a married person spending time away from each other is for work reasons and not because they only want to see each other occasionally.

Oh I was speaking about dating and the relationship prior to getting hitched. and what I described is what keeps it from getting that far.

Ahhhhh I see!, I thought this is what you've observed from other couples hence my confusion LOL.

As that's the case mate you should have NO problems in finding what you desire I'm sure

I've learned that for me, that's unicorns.

I'm sure it exists, but it is not for everyone.

It's nice to fantasize about these type of relationships, but it's just not reality, guy...and that's why you're finding it hard to obtain.
