Found it age 17 married at 19 and when I met him I had no interest in anyone else ever. After 27 years of marriage he is still the love of my life. I didn't settle it's was pure love and if you are in it you know it and I am not speaking of infatuation or lust it was love. The infatuation may have started first but the love hit me like a ton of bricks. It don't get any better. I may have been lucky though many young marriages don't work. If one truly loves someone though it's always worth hanging on to I think people give up all to easily now days.

I absolutely believe in love. I think it takes work to live with someone and to appreciate them and love them always but your love grows stronger when you work at your relationship together. The ups and downs, the trials and the tribulations and the joys and benefits all make it worthwhile if you endure and work for the same goals together. I am sure there were times when I thought I had settled but when I look back on it, we are stronger for all the times that it took harder work to remain in the relationship. Our family is very dear to us and our love for one another is something we can count on. Sometimes people give up on the love they have when the going gets rough. Having respect for each other is key, though and the trials that we have had have nothing to do with disrespecting one another or being unfaithful. Everyone has shortcomings and room for improvement but, if I had to do it all over again, I would choose the same person I fell in love with and work at the issues that we have had. Having personal values that are the same is a factor, I am sure. We do and so there are some things we have never had an issue with.

I did believe in love, or at least I thought I did. I thought I found the one, I was so convinced I had love. I thought it would never leave me. I knew in my heart she was the one. But nothing stays the same in this life; nothing is forever. She broke my heart into a million pieces, she changed me into a depressed, cold person who now has no direction or incentive at all in life. I'm not trying to seek sympathy or attention. This is just my view. Love changes you for the worst. I will never be the person I was again. I will never have those dreams or goals. I don't even know when I'll be able to pick up my life again and try to become what I was. I hate now knowing I have to live my life in regret. I will never be the girl I gave my heart to ever again. I will never have my 'one' again. I have to live with that, and settle for whatever else comes my way. I hate knowing everyday I can't have the only person I want to be with. I have to 'settle' with something less. When your 'in love' everything becomes sugar coated and you look away from the realistic things that are going on in life.

I believe in it. Have found it three times and lost it 3 times. Actually that last time was probably more settling. The song by Teddy Pendergrass "tko" used to be my theme song. Love is always best when the person on the recevg end of your love, loves you back. The 2 times that Ive been in love, we didn't fall out of love, other issues broke us up. This last time was a case of I loved him and not sure how he feels about me.

i do believe in love. I have found it many times. Some long term, some very short term. I am not sure why i am still looking, I think I want that magic. The kind that has nothing to do with sex, I want that conection that only two people can have. Maybe some day I will.

Yes, I believe in love. Have I ever been in love? I don't believe so. Although, I've had the effects of it off and on.
It's the feeling that you get when you see someone and just can't take your eyes or mind off them.
It's that tingling sensation you get when you think about them.
You can't really explain it, but I do have many stories involving, the word LOVE and what I use to think it was, and when I use to think I was in it.
I would love to elaborate later though!

I'm very cynical these days.
I'm beginning to think that love is something women feel for the men who want to just f*** them. In my experience, men don't really feel love, they say they love you, that they wanna be with you forever, and the next day they out sleeping with your 18 year old cousin or refusing to even talk to you to tell you why they haven't called for 2 weeks, and then when they do bother to answer your calls they say "oh you and I broke up 2 weeks ago, didn't you know?" They tell you what you want to hear to get what they want, is my experience.
No, I don't believe in love anymore. Sad but true.

Yea, and I had it for a while. My wife was perfect for a while but now she allways criticises...... Ah well, I'll just get my Doctorate, do my thing, be loving, and she can do as she pleases...... got 4 doors in my house that lock and if she's not nice then I can allways get behind one..

In my previous relationship I settled.
In my current relationship I have found the meaning of love.
