This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Educating your partner on what you think love is, and what you seek in a relationship is good. How can they be expected to know, otherwise?

I guess my english comprehension today failed me because I said the same thing minus the educate part, isn't the word used in a teaching context? I read OP's post as someone who has a higher understanding of what a relationship is, which is both weird and untrue since you absolutely can have fireworks/effusive emotions after the honeymoon phase.

you definitely can but its never going to be the same as it was during the honeymoon phase, there's a reason they call it that. Though for me personally there would never be a honeymoon phase lol. I just don't approach relationships like that.
