It makes me wonder if I chose him because I felt calm with him as opposed to the crazy attraction I've had to men in the past (and well, frankly a few in recent past)...I'm wondering if this is why i chose to marry him, because I have bpd??? Like I mean, i took a leap of faith with him and yes, he did make me feel good, but i never had those sick to your stomach butterflies you know?? Which actually gives me new problems though because when we fight or rather when he lectures me, I get really upset and I lose passion for him, which, you know causes other problems. Sigh!
Similar for me. The ones who gave me butterflies were emotionally unavailable. Have you heard of limerence? I wanted what I could not get.

I also felt calm and safe with my husband, and married him feeling good about us, but not crazy butterflies...which meant fear.
