I am absolutely in love with my girlfriend. Almost all of the time we spend together seems unbelievably perfect- we love each other dearly, share enough interests to have more than enough common ground, but not so that we’re the same person, and we’re fairly tolerant of each other. I politely ignore her folk music fetish (Beer and beards, I call it) to keep what we have. The only problem is the comedown. Occasionally, there are times when we’re like what I imagine other couples to be- normal. It doesn’t take much; she might peck me on the cheek instead of the lips, or be too thrifty with the milk in my tea. She even left the toilet seat down last week. When this happens, I feel that something is terribly wrong, but the only thing I can do is be patient and wait for things to be fantastic again.
