it's all highly over rated and at the end of the day it's just another bodily function

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

All true, but your missing one thing. The drive to work... when you couldn't feel any more Whole, Any more of One person, because that one insignificant other, makes you feel like you have nothing else to worry about.


And when that falls apart...you are left with a new black hole. I've loved and lost...I would have been better off to not of loved at all.


Oh Fear, that saddens me to hear you say that. I felt that way when my husband died. BUT, in time I realized, I would never have changed it, given the chance, because I am a better person because of him.

When you find true love that is love for both of you there won't be the stupid games that keep you wondering, crying, guessing, asking, assuming, fuming, fasting. I don't know everything but I do know that relationships work if each of you wake up everyday asking yourself what you can do to make the other one happy & content.

What makes em happy? Only one and guess?:laughing:
Men: SEX!rofl rofl rofl

I suppose if you came out a better person because of it, it is easier to look at it from that point of view. Mine sent me on a destruction course, mainly self...nothing good comes out of that, and I refuse to put myself through it again.

love is when you put someone in the position that they could totally crush and destroy your spirit and you trust them not to

I would rather take that chance and be in love regardless of the consequences than build up walls and hide behind them in loneliness

I define my life and who I am as a half of the whole that I have with her

so yeah I have been and am in love

There is opportunity for learning and growth in all situations..closing your heart is probably not the answer, you'll just get the lesson again.

Love requires compromise and Im not sure alot of people can do that. Its easier to be alone. But in the end very lonely.

Not likely, I learned a good lesson...close my heart, no more pain, open my heart...and the pain flows freely. Learning and growth, just not in the same way perhaps most apply the teaching...if something can take that much control of my life, and wreak that much havok on my esteem...why would I want to risk it occuring again?

But I'm ten times happier alone then when I was in a relationship or with someone, in the end I would rather be happy.

You're never going to get them to accept that, they don't think being alone is good, whether you're happy or not, unless you have another person around, no matter what a jerk or a b!tch they are, you just HAVE to be miserable and lonely.grumble
