    Do you think being in a relationship with someone who makes u feel elated 24/7 can be bad long term to continually feel like that? Like you're with someone so special all the time?
    as compared to be with someone who u feel relaxed to be around instead of continually thinking they are special

    just wanted ur opinion on this

    thanks!

    In the long term both of the above should happen!

    My girlfriend made me feel elated 24/7. The second week, not so much.

    Ive been married 12 years. Things got squirrelly after we started taking shits with the bathroom door open. Give it a minute.

    Just enjoy it while understanding things usually change. In my personal experience, it’s good to know how to spot codependency issues and address them asap. And of course, don’t let yourself get so addicted to these feelings that you begin to neglect other parts of your life that you know are important.

    I think balance is important, if you start to feel overly dependent and if it starts to stress you out then I'd say something is wrong.

    get yourself a dose whatever you think you missed out on in life, then get the next dose of the next from the next girl, then someday maybe, youll learn to tolerate yourself and the girl/boy/girl-boy next to you

    Well. It's a bit mono, isn't it?

    Without contrast you're essentially flatlining. When "elation" becomes the norm it can no longer be "elation" (by definition, actually).

    Having said that, anticipating that a partner be the source of ones happiness and wellbeing is a recipe for discontent.

    ...and having said that, the premise of this thread is intrinsically idiotic.

    Thanks.

    Don't overthink everything, that can be bad for anything you do long term.

    The feeling of elation can't be long term, because it's solely based on dopamine overdose.
    Also there are people who manipulate you by making you feel elated. Google "Dark Triad" for more info. Given that you're obviously neurodivergent, you're more susceptible to this kind of people. Whenever something strikes you as a red flag, do actually stop and give it a second glance. Confront your partner about it.

    It's important to state that I don't say this *will* happen, but rather that it *can* happen from where I'm standing. And your relationship won't suffer from *a few* precautions.

    My girlfriend makes me feel elated 24/7 but that's just a necessary corrective to my wife who nags me 24/7.

    Even if she was a girl of my dreams, I must sleep at least 8 hours a day and forget all about her.

    As long you can refrain yourself from hardcore sex in the bus you should be fine

    Why are you guys putting so many limits on LOvE. If he wants to be a peacock you gotta let'im fly, getting caught by the cops is a different issue, but YDY.

    @Xupito was no doubt banned from all of the above due to repeated, excessive & unlawful acts of unfettered pubic depravity. :bleh:
