Re: How many times have you been in love?
I had a similar dream. I dreamt my OH was having it away with some slut and i walked in on them. I went nuts...got a knife and hacked off his knob, stuffed it down the sluts throat, chopped them both into pieces and put them in a plastic bag.
Then i woke up...

Re: How many times have you been in love?
You know what Em's,I seem to have a "detachment"from guys.Not sure how to explain it?My OH completely adores me,and I know he loves me very much,but,as much as I hate to say this,the feeling is not totally mutual.I just have this cut offish attitude that should anything happen to him,I'd find someone.I wish I could get into all that romance stuff,undying love and all that but nope just can't do it!
I did ask him once, when we were near the end, what did he consider about his lack of love for me.. he told me that he *did*love me, a hell of a lot in the beginning, but he it changed for him.. and that it moved into platonic, friendly feelings instead, he felt a love, but nothing much. Now call me a cynic, but I think if the love disappears then it probably wasnt there in the first place.. ie, I felt it, but it was unreciprocated.. and perhaps he felt flattered and maybe just went along with it hoping? Us humans can trick ourselves into believing anything aye?!
Ah! who knows?! Matters not a jot to me anyway, I currently have a very great guy that I have just started to see! which is going very swimmingly! haha!

Re: How many times have you been in love?
I think some people just feel it more, thats all. A partial reason for us divorcing was his inability to love me the same way that i loved him. Of course, there are a zillion other reasons that come into play, and they all hit the nail into the coffin. However, I think if he had adored me as much as i used to him, then we would have worked it out.

It WAS so REAL!
Imagine my horror when I woke up and he was still there next to me??? I actually thought that I had yet to drag him out and bury him so I began tugging at his feet and to my amazement he woke up and said 'what the F****ing hell are you doing woman' to which I replied, 'Oh I thought you was dead'!
True dream.

Human are not meant to be with one person monogamously for their entire life. Human's don't pair bond for life.

Are humans meant to be cynical do you think?

Society expects different things of people nowadays and divorce is no longer frowned upon as it has been in the past. Ever wonder why so many people get divorced nowadays?
I prefer realist to cynic. It's more accurate and far better than being idealistic. Idealism is the land of the fairies. A bit like believing in God!

Re: How many times have you been in love?
Hmm.
I thought I was with an ex-boyf. Now I know it wasn't love. Maybe it was half-love or something.
But now, I am in love - first time.
I know 100% sure that it is because I was nearly killed by some idiot guy almost 5 yrs ago and let no one in within that time. Then I met my now partner and within 3 weeks of us meeting we were beginning a relationship.
13 months later and everything is great, plans to marry, kids, the whole shehbang.
I'm not sure I could go through it all again if I had to for whatever reason. I'd rather just not think about it!!

The reason why it's common for people of that generation to bond for life is because that is what society expected of them. It's social engineering or brainwashing for the masses.

The simple fact is you are trying to lump humans into neat pigeon holes but we are far more complex than that. You are broadly correct but not completely
