Dear SunnyCoast,

What you describe is very similar to something that happened to me before in a relationship. Unfortunately in my case, I was not able to recapture the lost passion.

In another relationship, however, I found that passion would ebb and flow like a tide. There would be long periods when the passion was gone and then it would return. And the whole thing would cycle.

I wish I had some advice for you. There are books out there on keeping passion alive and probably articles on the internet by psychologists on the same theme.

I can really identify with what you are going through and am so very, very sorry I don't have an answer. Hopefully others here on the Forums will see your post and respond to it with something really helpful. Sorry I could not be helpful. I hope that by and by that things work out for the best for you!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
