Is there something wrong with me?

[Forstarters]

I went to a wedding last weekend. It was full of love. The couple declaring how they couldn’t live without one another. I mean they were genuinely besotted. To me it just felt…odd. Like a fake movie. To be that in love and reliant on another adult? I just don’t get it?

I have many many friends, who I love, I’ve been married and loved my husband, but I’ve just never felt that way about anyone. Absolutely Besotted.

Apart from my children I can’t imagine loving another human so unconditionally. Am I just really really weird?!

I’m with you OP. I just don’t think it’s possible for me to feel like that. It’s nothing to do with the people I love, it’s just that I’m not built to feel that way. I don’t get it!

I’m glad there’s at least two of us out there! Maybe we should marry each other and be happy but definitely not besotted

I say that too. I absolutely love my husband but I also know I'd survive without him. I honestly don't know how you could keep that sort of level up

I'm with you too. I have ASD so I've always wondered if that's why.

Oh I thought it was just me that's weird no I've never felt like that either, and don't think I could. Also when I see 'those' couples, who seem so blissfully in love but so fully dependent on that 'soulmate' feeling, what happens when it inevitably fades? You know, even just to the married couple, honeymoon period-over, comfortable with each other? I know a few that seem to be riding so high on the blissful phase that 'real life' may well be a crushing disappointment.

Also a total cynic and think life isn't a movie but there you go.

I get what you mean.

I absolutely love dp. But I also know if he left me tomorrow, I would be sad and miss him. But absolutely survive.

The thought of being in love, to the point that I couldn't live without someone, is not an attractive proposition to me at all.

I kind of feel - and I may be totally wrong - that people who are very dependent are battling some issues themselves. I’m very confident and happy in my self and don’t need someone else to complete me. I don’t know if that makes me any happier than other people though?
