Have you ever been in Love?

[RCMerchant]

Or married?
I NEVER been married. I been in love four times.

First time- in high school with Lorrie Kinny.  I never dated her. I was so angry at the world and had very low self esteem. I never told her.
2nd- Kerry Noble. I still love her. She's crazy as a bed bug. Her parents were murdered. She never loved me. We lived together many times. I haven't seen her in years.
3rd. Tara Sue. She's dead. She truly loved me. I had never had that.
4. Tiana. We lived together for 10 years. I saw her the other day. We still talk all the time. She got married. She's still my best friend.

I had a few relationships, most of which were temporary, casual things. There were a few girls I should have tried to take things further with, but I am incredibly happy with the person I ended up with. I can't imagine being one of those people who spends their entire live alone now and I pity anyone who has never had someone fall in love with them, or fell in love with someone else.

I've been in love and I've loved. The last is nice, the first can be madness. I was engaged once, declined (rather ungracefully) someone else's unexpected proposal, and I been married for thirteen years.

I never had enough confidence in myself when I was younger to approach women. I was very self aware of how short I was. I always felt like I was someone girls liked to hang out with and was fun, but never wanted to date because I was ugly.
Tara and Tiana were the only ones who loved me. Of the two- Tara understood me the most. We were 2 peas in a pod.

With me it's always been a one way street: I fall in love but the person I fall in love with doesn't fall in love with me. ☹️

^ We love you, Trev!

^ We love you, Trev!

Of course I've been in love, both reciprocal and unrequited. A few women have also been infatuated with me. Never married, though.

This may sound bad, but I'm done with romantic love. Don't need it, not interested, and I won't be raising any children. I still enjoy the company of women, though. Makes it difficult to find a woman who's on the same page as me, and not interested in taking things further. There are some out there.

I only think about marriage for my old age, mostly as a mutual pact for someone to live with who will call 911 when the other person has a stroke.

I fell in love when I was in elementary school, proposed to her my senior year in high school, married her when I was 21, and am still in love with her today.

I don't know how well this is going to translate but the question about love reminded me of it.

I was remembering that the last time I was on my college campus I walked past this plaza by the library and looked down toward a spot where a little wall ended and it stopped me cold to be hit by a memory of coming out of the library in 1999 and this boy who was in love with me, who in 2001 asked me to marry him, the second of three men who would in my life, was standing there, waiting for me, and he called to me, smiling, and I walked over to him and in itself there was nothing sad about recalling that moment, but that day on campus I found myself looking toward that spot where he once stood and it was like some tiny illogical corner of my brain expected he'd magically be there again, and the memory of that day and how long ago it was now, it hit me with a shockwave of sadness that made no sense. Time never stops, it rolls over everything and everyone, it swallows moments whole and eventually obliterates all trace that something ever happened at all. Just a moment, half a lifetime ago, over and done but I realized somewhere inside me it had stayed suspended in time all these years, and it was painful, just as sometimes being loved can be painful.

I oughta email him and see how he's doing.

A girl I've been dating has been dropping hints on Facebook about having a boyfriend. I am wondering what this means for us; I guess I can't see her anymore.

Then a horrible thought occurs to me. What if I am the boyfriend?

[Alex]

Sounds like you've been hooked. 

[chefzombie]

We just celebrated our 29th anniversary in Aruba. It will be hard to top that next year for #30, but we're talking about a trip to Italy.
