Oh, and the logic of not needing to 'shop around' because you know you've found 'the one' is flawed. Say the world was in black and white, and that's all anyone ever saw. People would find nothing wrong with only seeing that, whereas we know that they're missing out on so much, but they don't even think about it because they've never seen colour. So you say everything is fine with your relationship, but you don't know what you could be missing, if you understand me.
By the way, I'm not trying to say anything bad about your relationship with SeaRex, I just like arguing.

Ah. That's a really good analogy. Too good.
I have to be careful about how I word this... It's easy to know you're with someone who's right for you by comparison to other people even if you don't actively look for another possible mate.. because if there's any attractions, they'll occur naturally. Just by knowing and having friends of the opposite sex, I have enough interaction with others to still know I'm with the right person. I'm not living in a black and white world. I can see perfectly all the "black and white" guys around me, but I've only seen one person of "color." So for the sake of the conversation (but far from what I believe), if either of us were to meet someone who would be better for us--"more colorful"--then the person would be easy to notice.
Regardless, why mess with a good thing?
EDEET: Hah, I feel the need to add this: It's not like either of us were never attracted to anyone else before we met each other. Obviously, nothing ever went anywhere with those attractions, so if anything, we were both experiencing the "black and white world" before each other and have only now found a "colorful" one. (Bwaha, sorry, I do tend to stretch out metaphors and whatnot to a great extent.)
