Not bad. It's thought provoking. Love and lust are not the same. Lust can lead to obsession.

We are all broken into two halves and we spend our lives looking for our other self. Every affair we have, however stupid or trivial, has a bit of that hope that this might be it, our other self.

We're not interested in each other's worlds, each other's life. All that matters is us here, in this bed.

Marriage is about ordinary things, chores, boring duties, work, squabbles, sorting out squabbles. Everything. Not just... burning desire.
