I want to fall in love..........sigh

[Virtual Acid]

I think about all the things I want in my life, and the number one thing that I really want is to fall in love. I have never been in love, but I'm sure its the best feeling in the world. Just to have one person in the world that knows everything about me, a true friend, but have strong feelings for each other.

ahhh.........if it were a perfect world.....

Love is scary I'm sure. Once you have it, you will have a hard time living without it.

But I want it.......

Anyone TRULY in love? Or been in love?

And whats love without lust?


I think I'm a hopeless romantic

Ive been in love and i hate it, only because all the men i have been with are assholes, and now im going solo, i swear im going to be a working lady instead of some man's door mat

Thank you to all of you here who have posted what there version of love really is. It is a sad revelation, but an eye-opener to see that what I have at home is what every person here would love to have.

I don't have to be taken care of, but have the security that I can crawl up in my husband's lap at night in the recliner and have him rock me to sleep like a little baby. I am his pride and his joy and his heart. It becomes deeper and deeper every day.

Those of you who claim that the feelings of love fade after a period of time have not actually experienced true love. Might I point out that love is not a feeling or an emotion. Sure it feels good, but love is action. Love is not just loving someone because it works for you at the time. Love is making it work, even when they get on your last nerve at the time. Love is committment and Love is work....pure and honest work!!!

If it was easy everyone would be married and stay married. I love my husband more deeply now than I ever have and it grows deeper everyday. I can't spend enough time with him to satisfy myself or do enough to show him how much I love him. We have been together for 4 years, i know it is not long, but by no means are my feelings diminishing. We are learning to love each other in different ways as love is ALWAYS changing as our lives are always changing. Sure there are things I would like to change about him that sometimes are impossibly to live with, but I do not try to change him.....that is the secret......and as time passes he is slowly becoming the man he needs to be. He doesn't need be nagging on him to make him change.

Another point is a man will not give you his heart 100% until he can trust you 500%. This takes many years sometimes to happen. Despite popular opinion, men are more tender than women when it comes to matters of the heart..........especially their own heart. If you can get a man to trust you, you have gained the world. Be very careful ladies with that gift, because a broken heart is never mended under such circumstances.

Caution beware!

You are still on your honeymoon.

I was married for 10 years previously, so I know the difference. Just wait for the right one and never marry your "Almost".

PS....If any of you would have experienced a smidget of our life together, you would know that it has not been a honeymoon by any means!!!! After constant turmoil and madness, we are finally rediscovering what love really is. Most people quit before it gets to this stage and never give it a chance.

Mrs. Guns - you are so correct!!! I have been married for 14 years to my best friend and I wil tell you that it has been anything but a honeymoon. Real love, the kind worth having comes from going to hell and back together and finding yourselves still holding hands at the end of the trip even when what you really want to do is knock the other one over the head with a frying pan.
It is honesty even when the truth hurts
It is unconditional support of goals and aspirations
It is respecting each others abilities and filling in for their weaknesses.
Thr one thing that has made our marriage work is that the one rule that we have is that we NEVER discuss our marital problems with anyone other than each other because noone other than the two of us can fix it.

And as Mrs. Guns also said - never settle for your "almost" and be smart enough to see the right one when they come along and hang on for dear life as you may never have the chance again.
We also spent a lot of time making it way harder than it had to be. Just the other day my daughter asked me "Mom, why don't you and dad ever fight?" I guess because we have nothing to fight over - it wasn't always that way.
