when you were with who you wanted to be with forever, how did you know? what did you feel like and were you doubtful at all? i'm always doubtful. especially now that I'm in love or whatever :eggnog:
To be fair, I couldn't answer your question properly. If you feel like you're in love you're a lucky sod I don't think i've ever come near to it, so I have no idea what it feels like
why though? is it more like you're completely comfortable around that person, or you want to spend every day trying to make that person as happy as possible, or am I just in 'infatuation' not love? i don't like feeling like this. he made me cry lastnight for the first time and today I'm on some power trip like maybe I should just leave him? I'm a baby (hence the username)
The label is a complete indifferent to me. Were I in a relationship (or, if I wanted one), that person would be the one for me today. Were I in a relationship on my dying day, that person would be the one for however our relationship lasted until that day. But even then, I would be dead and indifferent about the label. It's not like I haven't felt certain about this or that before, and it turned out to be wrong. Edit: A good question would be if swearing everlasting love would make any difference to me if I believed in an afterlife (which, I did in the past, and not only did my belief end, but my relationship with the person that I was engaged to ended...for the good), but I don't think so. I still think what would matter would be now, rather than the indeterminate future. To paraphrase Rent from Trainspotting ---there's no such thing as eternity, and even if there were, I certainly would have nothing to do with it. :biggrin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THg_YZcUwyc"]YouTube - Larry David Anniversary Vows
If you can be yourself around him, can tell him anything and know he won't judge you, and just enjoy being with him - missing his voice when he's at work. All the silly things. It's hard to say, but I guess love would still be there when things get rocky, whereas infatuation might fade with that. It all depends on why he made you cry, and what was happening at the time. Relationships aren't easy and they take work, soif you walk away something after one thing, you'll never know what might happen with the relationships. People argue and cry and fight, it's part of it. And, now I feel incredibly grown up I'm frightened!!
I think "the one" can change depending where you are in life. If you think that your life is better with a person in it, then they are the one you should be with. If you feel that the reasons for them being in your life are not as clear as the reasons why you would rather not have them there, then it is very probable that you should not be with them.
I agree with what Heat said. For me, right now, I feel like I am with 'the one' because with him I can be myself and we enrich each others lives and I can't picture being with anyone else, but that could all change down the road, who knows?
When it's not about the sex anymore, and more about wanting the same things out of life. But, if he is already power tripping and making you cry, I'd ask myself if it's worth it.
All I know is I've felt different ways about different people I've loved. and I'm still confused. I just try to live in the now, if I'm happy then I don't see why I'd leave.
