For those people in long term relationships, do you miss the feeling of being with someone new?
Their individual smell, a new set of lips on your skin, a new touch?
I was on the bus the other day and a lovely looking guy sat beside me. Our legs touched and I felt my stomach bubble up inside and my knees go weak. It’s been so long since I’ve felt that feeling.
Yes yes I know some of you still get that feeling with your partner, and that you wouldn't give them up to feel that feeling again, but I mean BEING with somebody entirely new, do you miss it?

Nope, sorry to burst your bubble. I`m perfectly happy with the "butterflies" I receive at home!

I'm with nobody right now, but no, I don't miss that feeling. It's an opiate, like human interpretations of the concept of religion and substances like meth. An opiate that makes you behave and take actions that affect your tomorrow as if the presence of that substance was permanent in your life, when it is not.
Why do you think most people are unhappy with their relationships? Because everybody is approaching the concept of companionship from the entering premise that life companionship is supposed to feel like a 4-week long dopamine high. It's preposterous, yet people commit livelihoods, children, financial yoking et al to that very preposterous idea. It's insane...actually, it's simply "optimism-biased", if you want to get technical.
No, I don't miss that at all. I find the constant hunt for that high also to be a rather terrible indictment of your constitution as a person. I don't want a person like that operating heavy machinery or practicing governance or other functions where the livelihoods of other people are at stake. It's fickle, unreliable. Alas this is the facebook world we live in of 'relationship status change' > 'underwear changes a week'.... Where a dopamine high ranks higher than treating and giving the random person that crosses your path with the dignity of your free time, as opposed to constantly gaging "what's return for expending my time on you". Not sayin' you're sayin' that, I'm Just sayin'...
