Love, what's it mean to you?

[OrDieTrying]

So the question is pretty simple.. Looking towards the more sane members of the board to share what they think Love is. I guess this falls under what you think a healthy relationship is..

How do you know when you're in love? How do you know you're loved?

 

[oldfella]

This is a hrad question to answer and should be interesting to see the responses. Love can mean so many things to so many people. To me it is the feeling of happiness and the willingness to be with and do for the other unconditionally. No expectations no regrets. It is give and take. It can have incredibly warm feelings and have you grinning from ear to ear constantly. Love is tolerance for each others shortcomings and misgivings. It means total sharing of feelings good or bad, being out in the open and honest. It is about caring and being cared for. Good times and bad, being there for the support and help. Understanding and sensitivity, intamacy and sensuality. When you are in love you feel complete and suddenly things matter in your life. When you are loved it is all of those things coming back at you. It is a tough feeling to actually describe and even harder to put your finger on. Like your mother used to say, you'll know when it happens!!

That's just stone cold friggin funny OTH.

I can honestly say

That I love this girl I am with now. I would do anything to make her happy and that is all that really matters to me in life. I cry when she cries, laugh when she laughs, eat when she cooks.........JK, but seriously, I think about her all day long and cherish every moment with her. That is all I can apply to the word "love" in my life.

I'll tell you what love IS NOT. It's not that bullshit everyone feels during the first year or two together. That's just biology and chemistry in action.

What love IS, is the choice you're left with when that honey moon wears off, and you see your partner with all their flaws, annoying habits, and other shortcomings, and choose to stay committed to them anyway.

So what your saying is after all the sex and glitter is gone, its 'whose shit you can put up with the most'.

Damn Hernon! I can relate exactly how you feel as I feel the SAME way about my new gal. There certainly can't be anything "better" than this - can there?!?!?

All bad huh? Hahaha... Good! Cmon... that was DAMN funny! If it makes you feel better, I only really f- with the dudes I like... just ask that trousersnake Kaiser.

What you think is Love while living the passion to its fullest may in fact be just BLIND LOVE... sometimes you unfortunately realize it afterwards when everything's over and you brutally get your feet back on the ground...

So what is blind love? The feeling that nothing in this world matters more than cherishing your significant other... which is anyway your sole purpose in life cause you'd be lost without her/him No amount of money could make you happier than being on her/his side... that's why you usually lose A LOT of cash in the process of trying to satisfy her/his needs But then again you only know they are lost bucks when the story's over

Now, TRUE LOVE... what is it?

Well... I can just guess here ... I'd have to say the exact same as blind love... with the exception there's no end to the story at some point

VERY true.. and well said.. but i wouldnt call it blind love.. sometimes LOVE just doesnt work out the way you planned sweetie.. doesnt mean it didnt exsist.. just wasnt meant to stay around for awhile.

love is that evolving emotion

In the beginning...
I look at those eyes and lips, and wow! ...killer butt too, she's beautiful and her Spanish accent makes me melt on the spot ....the infatuation I have for her, the mind blowing sex, thinking about her all the time, wanting to be with her, laughing and having a great time. She just makes me feel good all the way through and she feels the same. How fantastic is that?

then through time...
You get to actually know each other on a deeper level. Its everyday life now. You feel comfortable with her on all levels. We can talk about anything. We fight and we make up. We care enough for each other to do that. Our relationship seems richer with the passage of time. We have shared more life experiences together. We are lovers AND friends now. I don't mind farting in the house these days. She bitches and we laugh. Mi amor, mi vida.

I must be getting into that second tier in my relationship too

We won't let ANYTHING that bothers either of us get out of hand. We both understand the IMPORTANCE of "communicating" and do everything in our power to talk things out.

But - I fart and it REALLY makes her laugh (it's like a dream come true)

Interesting, and probably pretty accurate. Very good post. IronMike
