Is love a "chemical addiction" between people?

I think our relationship thoughts must be as opposite as humanly possible Peaches LOl!!!!

Check back with me when you're my age and we'll compare notes again.

Bottom line, cheating is lying (I don't consider swingers or those with otherwise open marriages as cheating). If you lie about something like this, your relationship sucks. Too many people DO get married for the wrong reasons - they want the wife/husband, 2.5 kids, house in suburbia, etc. Then they "...meet someone who (they) have a chemistry with....", they don't deny themselves and they hurt a lot of people in the process. Once you watch it happen to a few of your friends, your loved ones and worse, their kids, you truly rethink things. It's one of the reasons I don't think anyone should get married until they're in their mid to upper 30's - if then, lol!

There are things that we'd love to do that we deny ourselves doing every day because it's dangerous and/or hurtful to others and/or ourselves. I would love to drive 100 MPH on the back roads and 130 in the interstate. I would love to eat nothing but cheesecake all day long. I would love to put my car in 4WD and just drive over the little Fiesta blocking my way in traffic. But these decisions have consequences and we have to decide if we can live with those consequences. Many people say yes, many more say no.

And let's not forget, the grass is always greener on the other side the fence. But many times you jump the fence and find out it's nothing but astroturf.
