Ever fallen in love with someone without feeling the "butterflies"?

1 Answer

Answer :

While I might have had that feeling for the first month or two, it’s long since gone. My relationship is butterfly-free, that’s fine with me! I’ve read some literature that describes our brains during different phases in love and relationships, and apparently this (the losing of butterflies) is correlated with moving from the initial infatuation stage towards a long term partnering kind of love.
