So I've been off birth control for about a month now and things are starting to look up! (although it did relapse a bit last week when I thought I was pregnant, I wasn't, there really was no way I could have been, my body is just re-adjusting to the lack of hormones in my system, but I'm so frightened at the prospect of being pregnant before I'm ready that it doesn't take much to allow those fears to plague me) (wow I digress)
Anyway, since being off I've noticed John's behavior towards me change in the last week or so; he's much more gentlemanly, romantic, like he was when we first started dating. I'm sure its my hormones. Some instinctual chemistry we/he is only aware of on a deep subconscious level effecting his behavior towards his mate.
Wow, if people can be that strongly effected by an unknown chemical then I completely see people being unable to accept or love a child who is not theirs biologically. I used to think they were just not as tolerant of other children rather than actually being physically unable to accept someone else's child as their own (as in adoption)
So is this strong chemical love a lasting love? Or a passing romance?
Isn't that interesting? My god, we really are slaves to our basic animal instincts.
