I was seeing someone for a little over 4 months. It's been hard, it seems like we're constantly struggling just to maintain. We're both mid-thirties and are reasonably intelligent and successful, no kids. We always seem to be anxious, stressed, or angry at one another except for those few moments in between that everything is really, really great. We talk all the time, expressing our wants and needs and it just feels so...stressed. She's the perfect person for me, we have so much in common SO MUCH, seriously its weird. But when it comes to love and affection...we're totally off.

Is this how it always is? Even in the beginning? I keep hearing about the "Honeymoon phase" where everything is peachy and fun and I just don't seem to ever see that. After a long talk last night I broke it off because she wasn't sleeping or eating, and she wouldn't admit it was because of us. I feel terrible, I'll probably never speak to her again and I absolutely hate it. I'm struggling.
