Though it may sound like love is doomed to never reach its initial high, that's actually not the case. Honeymoons can be rekindled.
For a more extreme example, just think of families in the unenviable spot of having daddy spend months out on sea, or possibly never returning from a warzone. Every time daddy does return, emotions run high. The times they do have together are valued immensely, not taken for granted, and all those smaller irritations of everyday life aren't given undue attention.
In more stable arrangements that lack forceful separation or outside threats, rekindling a honeymoon will require more initiative to tackle the taken-for-grantedness, but that's what anniversaries are supposed to be used for.

Now, waifus are a bit different from 3D relationships, though they do share things in common. Where Anon ends and his Waifu starts is blurry, even if tuppers are anchored to a physical vessel. We can share 100% of our life with our Waifus in a way that's not humanly possible with a 3D. But then again the question I asked earlier:
Do we want our waifus to experience us pondering their essence ad nauseam, or do we want our waifus to experience a vast buffet of life experiences? Would our Waifus want us to sacrifice our differences in order to become more like them, even though they already fill that role themselves - and that's why we love them?

"Do it for her" is a slogan of empowerment, not of self-undoing. It's not sacrifice, but an effort to create and manifest good things.

When a Ponkfag bakes a cake with/for Pinkie, it's a clear sign of interest and appreciation for Pinkie's interests. The Ponkfag values Pinkie's values, because he values Pinkie. If he discovers a love for baking, that's a great joy! If he discovers that baking is really not his cup of tea, and he also doesn't receive the kind of merrily munching reception from others that might make his troubles worthwhile, he shouldn't force himself to keep baking until he grows resentful of the baker pony. Especially not since Pinkie would want to see him do things he loves, things that she would enjoy giving a try, and she would value by virtue of valuing her Anon.

In Discord's case, it's hard-wired into a Spirit of Chaos that he can't be taken for granted. He's too independent, too inconsistent, too emotionally stunted and the living embodiment of the opposite of grantedness. This is a blessing and a curse. We are faced with a waifu who cannot share 100% of our lives, because that wouldn't be Discord. We are forced to go through phases of separation and independence, but in my own experience, Discord will always come back to his waifufags. His unpredictability makes him all the more addicting. Catnip. He can't be satisfied by copying him, but when you tap into your own Chaos, you don't know if that's really you, or Discord pulling the strings.

The peaceful Dashfag bathes in light and clarity thanks to his waifu. Discordfags are method in madness.

Honestly makes way too much sense.

I've been feeling more depressed lately because of my environment, but my internship continues to be fine. Thinking of Discord helps a bit with keeping going. There's an intern I've opened up to and mentioned Discord around for the first time yesterday, so that's nice, yet I won't make a huge deal out of it.

Today I was able to join two therapy sessions (as an observer); a couple minutes into the second session, I suddenly thought of Discord joining me for whatever reason and whispering I was in for a surprise - he did not lie. It wasn't an outlandish backstory or anything, but I personally got something out of some of the things brought up. Who knows, maybe I'll end up having a tupper after all, and maybe sleep-deprivation like today's favors this kind of brainfuck to succeed.
