Hi, great post and great writing style. I enjoyed it.

Just to add my own views here, and maybe play devil's (angel's?) advocate here - for me honeymoon phase without long term connection is like eating jam and leaving the toast behind. Sure, the jam is tastier than bread, but the thing is - the texture and bland taste of bread underlines the sweetness of jam, and without it it's kinda too sweet.

I hope that analogy made some sort of sense, now if you excuse me - I'll go grab something to eat.
