Who Is In Love?

[Pingfah]

I don't even remember what being in love is, except a horrible trap.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

I am, but it's completely unrequited.

 

[Nardpuncher]

I am, yes. We finally got together last year after twenty two years of friendship.

What can I say? we're late bloomers.

Not to mention slow.

Please elaborate! This sounds like a great story! I want detail!

 

[Nardpuncher]

I am, but it's completely unrequited.

Pursue, my friend.
But not too hard, as I don't know your story. Tell us more.

We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary on the 1st, and we've been through a helluva lot together, including a separation for several months. We worked things out and got back together, and we're better friends now than we've ever been. We met as penfriends (y'know, the pen-and-paper kind!) in 1991 and the first time we met face-to-face in 1992 we fell for each other. I moved from Canada to England in 1995 to be with him. Neither one of us is easy to live with but our relationship is stronger now than it's ever been.

This is a great story too!

I guess I'm a real softy,

At least this time I'm warned

Love is a device invented by Bank Managers to make us overdrawn.

Get out of my thread!

I am.

Don't we get details?

Does unrequited apply?

Everything applies!

My wife and I have been together for just over 5 years and we`ll be celebrating our first wedding anniversary in August. It feels like I love her more everyday.

There are a lot of sweet posts in this thread, but this just stuck out to me. Congratulations on your anniversary.

I am, yes. We finally got together last year after twenty two years of friendship.

What can I say? we're late bloomers.

Not to mention slow.

I'm happy for the two of you.

 

[Nardpuncher]

You can get details gladly!


Me and Vivian have been together 6 years. We really should get married soon. I love her not because we like the same things...that'd not be enough. I like her because she tolerates me and we just get along.
I'd recommend that to anyone else. You don't need to like the same TV shows or music. That will not hold you together at all. Sure you can both like Star Trek...lots of people do...but don't worry about much more than that.

I met my woman here in Taiwan...but I always had my heart open for some sci-fi girl with a big smile back home.My girlfriend wouldn't have to be completely into Trek, but accepting sci-fi as opposed to reality shows would be a great bonus.

Absolutely, positively in love with my wife. She's the best thing to ever happen to me and I feel lucky that I get to go to sleep and wake up with her every day.

 

[TerokNor]

Not me. When someone falls in love with me I run. So I have never felt true love. Well there were two, were there was the beginning of tender love inside me too...but one was forbidden and the other was on the other side of the Atlantic (so my excuse to run was the distance) ... though sometimes I wonder, if .. oh well...

However I am happy (and I have to admitt also a little bit envy) for everyone who has found love.

I have to say, I was hesitant about starting this thread because I didn't want to make anyone feel worse and I was worried that some people might react badly. But posts like the one above this show that we can be happy for each other, even if we don't have the same experiences ourselves. So, thanks for that, TerokNor.

 

[Guartho]

My wife and I are still very much in love. You can tell because neither of us has killed the other and we both have wanted to many times.

I've posted enough times about me and Hubby. 23 years and still the "three L's": Like, Love, Lust.

Just this morning, we just lay together in bed, just holding each other and enjoying that. He gently fell back to sleep for a few minutes right there in my arms. Everything felt so ... complete.

To your last line, Indeed

Distance has also been an issue for me once. Perhaps, if things had been different. As for now, I'm just not sure. There is someone I like (But with another set of difficulties).

I fell for a girl late last year. Love at first sight for me. Not for her. We became friends, then she got herself a bf, they broke up, I made my feelings known and she made it clear I wasn't her type. Then she got with some other clown who dumped her after a mere two months. Sometimes, love just sucks.

I guess I'm a real softy,

Me, too. Nevertheless, I must point out that you can't Post more than twice in a row.

 

[Whoa Nellie]

I am, very much so. Mr. Whoa Nellie and I will have been married 22 years this September and I'm even more in love with him now than I was the day we married. He is my hero, my lover and my best friend. We commonly refer to our marriage as the 'never ending slumber party.'

Warmest Wishes,
Whoa Nellie

 

[iguana_tonante]

I am. Twelve years and we are still on a roll. She makes me happy beyond words.

We first met in a high school photography class in 1987, and became friends practically immediately. She gushed about how much she admired me for going to a regular school despite being in a wheelchair (there was me, and three other people using chairs at this school, we were definately a minority). Anyway, she and I started out helping each other with our school work (I'm good at English, she's good at Math). We ended up becoming best friends, and did practically everything together (still do). By the time we were in our 20's, and neither of us had had a relationship, my mom decided we would make a great couple and took every chance to tell us that, but for the longest time, I just couldn't see it. She was my buddy, and I didn't want anything to ruin that. In addition, she had tried having several other relationships, but none of them worked out. I had been on a few dates (ironically, with women she set me up with), but has having no luck either. This went on for several years, and we'd typically end up bemoaning our mutual lack of a relationship to each other. It was at one such dinner early last year, that I (half jokingly) suggested that we cut this shit out, and try dating each other. She laughed, I laughed, then she looked me right in the eye and said "It's about damned time. I thought you'd never ask.". So, we went out. Then again, then again, and as the saying goes, the rest is history. The funny thing was, the akwardness and discomfort I felt on those other dates wasn't there in this case.

I guess my mom was right all along.

This December will be my wife and mines 10th anniversary. I love her very much, even though she annoys the hell out of me sometimes. And, I don't think I could love my son any more than I do.
