writes: Dear Cupid,I have been in a relationship for over 3 years. We are both 20 years old, and really do feel comfortable with each other. We moved in with each other just last month, and everything is going great. We are both each others first relationships. I don't feel like I need to see anyone else, I know he is the one for me... How do I know if he is really 'the one' if I have only been with one? Sometimes he gets the feeling that it would be good to see other people because we have never gotten to see what others are like. Is he right? I could never bare to see him date anyone else!Sincerely, The One.

I know a couple who has been together since they were 16. They are now in their mid 40's, have kids and grandkids.
Curious about what other people are like? Well, yes there are people out there who have different personalities and interest. And at first, they are exciting, because it is something different. But in the long run, no matter who it is... after you have been with them for a while... the "excitement" dies after a year or so. Then what happens, is that you move to a different "plain", where you get comfortable... which is sometimes wrongly perceived as "bored".
The grass is NOT greener on the other side, and after you jump over the fence to go to the other side, you still have to "maintain" it. (Just like any other relationship)
