I’ve been in love with a girl in elementary school. She liked me too!

Love hurts when it ends

Love is a extra dimension of reality, it really is. Lust at our teens of course is a beautiful thing. But true love is even more beautiful, and when you’ve matured emotionally I believe only then you can selflessly dive in to each other.

I thought I was in love but I probably wasn’t.
I’ve been in lust a lot of times, does that count?

What are you calling love
I thought I was in love on my second breakdown age 28 but when I became well it had all been only in my mind so I have never been in a long relationship . I have fancied people but that’s all

I have had psychological romantic love interests but I’ve never had real romantic love.

I’ve been in love with chimeras… always someone who was either unavailable or uninterested in me…
I’ve been down because of it, but not anymore.

Life doesn’t end at 30 for a reason. We must learn and grow up. Dwelling on the past is hurtful for our minds and souls.

I wrote a bunch of love poems if anyone is interested in reading them.

I’m not completely sure if I’ve ever been in love or I was more in want or lust, if that makes sense.

I think I’ve been in love. I know I am capable of loving someone and of having crushes, but sometimes I feel like there’s a stage inbetween that, which fails to initiate inside me when it’s time.

I love my husband with all my heart and soul. And for the first time in my life I actually feel loved back. He really makes me feel loved. Before him no matter what anyone said I just didn’t believe that they actually loved me. I felt terribly unlovable. But with my husband I can see it in his eyes and feel it in his embrace. He actually is over the moon for me and I love to be loved and nurtured, it’s awesome. Everyone please keep looking until you find it. It will be worth all the effort you put into finding it, I promise.

I have found someone who looks at me and acts as if he loves me, but I’m still at that stage where I feel unloveable, and I just get uneasy because I don’t feel like I deserve the love.
He lives in a neighboring country, so we rarely ever get to see each other, and I feel like I don’t love him the way he loves me.
He wants to kiss and cuddle and hold hands all the time, and that’s fine, it’s just his way of expressing love, but it feels a little bit too much for me. Especially when I don’t think I’m able to love him unconditionally like he seems to do with me.

Unconditional love scares the crap out of me to be honest, and when someone seems to love me unconditionally my brain goes “Something is wrong with this person. They’re fooling themselves, nobody loves anybody without conditions. They’re probably just lonely and think I’m the best they’ll get.

I think of “unconditional love” differently now. I used to think it meant that every think about the other person was going to be ok. Now I think of it as I can accept the bad things because the good things out weigh them. My husband drives me nuts, we have different political views, he has weird habits and he’s got this whole OCD thing going on that drives me crazy. And sometimes I think why is this place not bigger so I can get further away from him but when something good happens I automatically turn to look for him to share the news and when something bad happens it’s his hand I reach for. He is truly my best friend in a way I’ve never known friendship could be. Oh, it’s lovely. I love him as much as I love my children and for anyone who has children you know how deep that is. I didn’t know at first, it took a long time for my feelings to develop. He chased me for quite awhile before I fell for him. I’m so happy he didn’t give up.

@anon1571434 do you have a love

Not at the moment currently. I understood what you said about unconditional love being the good outweighs the bad and that’s the kind of love I’m looking for. I’ve only had it once and it felt so right.

You’re such a love bug, I hope you find it again soon. You deserve a lovely woman.
