That never lasts. People that need that are in for a lifetime of dissappointment.
And you can fall out of love and fall back in love again. Although "grow" would be a better word than "fall".
Craig and I have been married 27 years now but there were several years in there where we were not in love. More like friends with benefits and mutual responsibilities...it was rather painful. But we did come to love each other again once we got over preconceived notions of what love was.
This is probably no help at all. But love can grow back and it can come back much stronger than it originally was.
Hope that whatever is going wrong in your life gets better. I would love to see you happy.
you can't make someone love you, or fall in love with you. I suppose what i was looking for was a return of friendship and respect. I don't want to be coddled like i will break. I am a complete loss w/ the understanding of how a relatonship is supposed to work anyway- My parents have been unhappily married for 36 years. They got married b/c my mom was pregers with me. My dad was an alcoholic, he hit her, sometimes us (the kids). and I'd beg my mom to leave...but she wouldn't " I Love him too much." So I have a warped sense of what love is. I know I love the friends I've made here.
I don't even know that I have the stamina it would take to maintaina long term realtionship, but my first response is PUT his bags on the doorstep. Maybe my logic is off,but being just a friend is huge step. and the balls to tell someone straight out, that you don't return their feeling, goes a huge way too. And 'm not sure how I got babbling like this.
But it has been fun, to watch the thread twist and turn. It makes my heart happy to know, that thre are poeple who get the concept that it's about loving someone, and lusting, or being in love. Just simply loving that other person. <3 R~
