Drama and adrenaline - yup, they are a turn on for sure.
But after a while they become so draining, don't they? Yeah, one crisis, or one every so often when you are desperately needed right this second!! - this is compelling. However when it's repeated over and over and over it's just exhausting.
I've had the intense, mind-blowing, walking-on-air passion which turns into gut-wrenching pain, and then back to walking on air relationship. The one I've been in for the last 15 years is the exact opposite. In all honesty I don't have those highs but also don't have the lows. More boring? Yes. I will admit I sometimes miss the highs but still -- this is better and I would not go back to the drama for anything.
