Love and all that it entails.

[Carl East]

Have you ever wondered just what attracts you to certain individuals, apart from their physical attributes I mean. I know some women like strong men or funny men, others go for looks and no substance.

All of which can be turned around for the men as well, most of these relationships turn out to be more for the physical needs of each person. Yet once in a while, you get to see someone across a crowded room or at work, and you just wish they'd notice you.

Love is myterious and wonderful and all the other cliques that go with it, but true love in my opinion is so illusive, the kind of love you would glady die for.

My question: Has love effected you in ways that you never dreamt possible, or are you still searching for that illusive bond.

I thought I had that illusive bond 14 years ago when at the young age of 15, I met my future husband. We have been married for 8 years, and for me, it saddens me that it is fizzling out. I still love him, but need so much more than he obviously has given. Ive explained to him in great detail what it is that I need from him. And it isnt anything grand. He has yet to keep it consistent. While I am the one who does things constantly to save it. So, all that to say, Im still searching. Met someone that very well could be that illusive one.....but only time will tell what it is my future holds.

ohhhh i have found that ever elusive, all invading bond with my 2nd husband - i felt it right after we married and it hasn't changed over the past 13 years - unfortunately other parts of our relationship have changed, the physical attraction has waned quite a bit - but there is such a nearness, such a closeness, that it is difficult to put into words

i can say without any reservation that there is not a single thing he would not do for me, give me, or give up for me - and i the same for him - the only difference is that i know he would never allow me to give up anything for his sake

"to love and be loved is the greatest joy"

Aren't you clever so early in the morn?

What she said (more or less) except that I'm tired of trying to save it. One can only be expected to do so much. Letting go is difficult, but sometimes it's the only thing left to do.

Having said that, someday I'll be ready to search again for that elusive bond. . .because part of me wants to believe that fairy tales do come true.

Princess you sound like you've found your prince Valiant, which to me is wonderful, may he always have the key to your heart.

There is someone out there for everyone Cutie, you just haven't met me I mean him yet.

Carl

yep found her and now im never going to let her go

it happened by the most amazing bit of luck that we found each other neither of us had been in love before so we didn't know how to deal with it ... to carry on our love we knew would be a long and tough journey but we did it and we're getting all the rewards from it now


(sorry if thats slightly vague but i've posted the details on this board more then once and people often threaton of banning me from using the word lisa)

I commend you sis! And I support you 100%. Part of me wants to be that strong. Part of me wants to give up. Part of me wants to hold on to what he and I have shared many times. But I have ached and still ache for that incredible bond. I want to be swept off my feet every day in a different way. Yeah, I know that is wanting too much. But I dream big. I am very tired of being in a marriage that still leaves me very lonely and empty. Last night was case in point. He has been gone on business. Came home last night. Didnt hold me, didnt kiss me. I gave him a mushy card. He said that he wishes I would stop doing stuff like that. and he doesnt know why I do it. And I responded that I thought it was a normal thing for couples to do when they have been apart and because I loved him and missed him. He read it. Tossed it aside and didnt say thanks or hug me or kiss me. Nothing. My spirit is breaking. Im so tired of the emotional turmoil but am not strong enough to make a change.

Keep dreaming big Jewelz, because dreams can and do come true sometimes, only when we lose sight of those dreams do they fade. You are destined to find what your looking for, a woman as lovely as you couldn't fail to do otherwise.

Your friend

Thats what scares me sometimes...losing sight of those dreams because of circumstance.

Thank you darlin for your kind words again.

My spirit is breaking. Im so tired of the emotional turmoil but am not strong enough to make a change.

i never thought i was strong enough to get out of my first marriage after many years of emotional abuse and unhappiness - but i amazed myself once i finally made the decision to leave

i am lucky i found a very close male friend who encouraged me and to this day i dont think i would have ever made the break without his support - it was almost like he came into my life for that purpose because as close as we were, after i left my husband, we parted ways - haven't talked to him in years

just never give up - you have to find the strength within yourself to make the change - and you will when the time is right

 

[dean99r]

I met my wife on a blind date, neither one of us wanted to go on it but by the end of the evening, we both knew we had found the one we wanted to spend our lives together with. It was a magical night and we have a magical marriage. Attraction is a weird thing because if we hadn't of gone out on a blind date, I figure neither one of us would have ever been interested in the other. Sometimes you just need to be mixed together just right.
After 30 years, she is still very very special. It's her birthday tomorrow so gotta get out and get some b-day stuff today.

I knew there was a reason I like you, good honest sound advise, I hope that Jewelz takes note, she needs the kind of friend you had right about now.

I'm glad you found the ONE, cause it just goes to prove they do exist. Although, I went on a blind date only once in my life and that was a total disaster, she hated me the moment she spotted me.

Again though, it wasn't meant to be.

thank you carl

i always think of him as my "angel" - he was armenian by descent, was about 6 foot tall and chubby, had kind of a gruff way about him - i never saw his wings, but i'm sure he had them - maybe i never saw them because he gave them to me

It's true what they say you know, there's nothing quite like love to set the mind racing and the heart pounding, I just wish everyone could find their true love.

The intensity that one feels at the begining of a relationship cannot last. I do believe that the intensity / love can come and go during the relationship. To me true love is not about the intensenes one feels at the beginning, but the long term bond forged between two people in a lifelong commitment. Taking care of your partner when their sick, holding and reasuring them when their down and out, being able to forgive when something terrible happens and stick it out through those bad times.

I agree that you can lose sight of how much a person means to you, but only through familiarity. However, once something goes wrong like your loved one is involved in an accident (God Forbid) you soon realise just how much you do love that person.

Reflections of my Love

Love is part magic and a lot of physiology. Initially that flood of attraction or awareness is what gives you a "heads up". What you do after the dart in the neck is up to you.

Most people think they are going with their hearts when they are really just hormone driven. To me your heart is a treasure you might share when you get to the point of trusting me. Sadly, some folks learn early to withold their trust completely or give it too easily and suffer.

Loves speaks to that part of you that is shy and vulnerable. When you feel it you are able to offer up your flaws as well as your strengths knowing that both are what make you unique and wonderful. What a terrible fate to be faced with perfection. In nature the most beautiful things are those that are flawed and forged by awesome violence.

It is a concious choice on my part to love. I find myself helpless to otherwise when I look into the eyes of a certain green eyed Scot. It is the mind and soul of him I love. The music he makes, the words he writes, the gentleness of his essence. Consideration and shyness along with a wit that does not scald. These are the things that produce an intense eroticism in his nature. Like those that mine for precious things I have learned to recognize the sensuality of a superior lover of women.

In short love is that other person who makes you believe in it. It challenges the mind, sings to your soul and seduces your body.
