Are YOU in love???

[ciaraciara]

Myself and my mate are writing a book in an attempt to find out what we really want in life.... As part of it we're looking at love and whether it could be the solution to our problems.... Just looking for people to give us an account of their situations please...
Have you been in love??
Are you in love??
How does it feel??
How do you know when you've found love??
Have you had your heart broken/ broken someone's heart??
How does this feel??
Do you believe love lasts forever or can withstand all obstacles??
Do you think that everyone can find "the one?"

Describe what love means to you.. :)

Thank you :)

I've been married over 50 years, my wife is still as beautiful to me now as the day I married her, we've had our ups and downs but never let the sun go down on an arguement, she was 14 when I met her and I was 15, we were virgins on our wedding night. Yes I think there's somebody for everyone. I knew she was the one for me she is the first person I think of when I wake, and before I go to sleep. she 's my rock and my best friend, and I couldn't be without her. We're not rich monetary wise, but when she holds my hand I'm the richest person in the world, nothing else matters. My Jean is my life.

painterman, that's beautiful - Jean is a lucky woman, and you are an equally lucky man ♥

[piggynose]

yes in love with a lot of women

[piggynose]

on a serious note, love is an overly used word. i dont believe in love any more, sorry. i did when i was young and naive. but older and wiser now. most people are hardened to any sort of loving relationship. if you can analyse what love actually is, then maybe more people could possibly find it. too many people think it physical attraction. i did when younger. i like most men have had to accept that we will never find it, cuz it doesn´t really exist.

i have to add i come from a family of mulitple divorces, my mother was married 4 times, not to mention her family, with 2 and 3 marriages, and lots of kids

[ciaraciara]

that's really interesting response Piggynose... thanks for sharing that! Much appreciated... and do you mind me asking are you in a relationship now? :D

I think you know when you're in love, as all previous relationships just seem to pale into insignificance. You somehow just know that it's entirely different with real, mutual love.

I don't believe that love can withstand all obstacles; there's only a certain amount of rubbish that people are going to put up with! With a little looking after I think you can make it last a lifetime though.

Funnily enough, I take assurance from the fact my man still wants to be around me when I'm at my worst- most moody, stressed, unreasonable, miserable and demanding. Hell, I don't even want me then..! ;-D

Just wanted to add that I also completely agree with the comment 'Morrisonker' made on the old post (http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul
/Question197951.html)
about being completely comfortable and not having to censor yourself in any way.

The freedom to be as silly as you like with your partner in a way that you might die of embarrassment if anybody else saw, is something pretty special to share, and goes with the best friend element I guess. =]

It's a secret skill, that only a very few can master, ha! ;- )
