Is Romantic Love Dead?

was trying to keep it a little hush hush

 

That sounds very different than pooping in front of another, though. It's one thing to be able to count on someone through thick and thin and it's great you have someone like that. I've had it. But I haven't had a woman who was both there for me and who also allowed me needed personal space.

 

Oopsie. :tongue:

 

i certainly would have left you for dead...






the poop was a better example.

 

that was a big oopsie

 

Anyone who read it has the right to have their eye poked out with a hot poker and their tongue ripped from their face.

 

i can poop in front of anyone. i'll talk politics/sports/food with you while i poop to

 

interesting

 

supposly not. i love being romantic and doing romantic things, but my boyfriend doesnt like it. i miss being romantic

 

How much space do you need? Week long vacations from anything but sex?

 

I don't like it either.

Unless romantic= goofy

 

First of all, I need breaks from sex as well.

"Me man want fuck. Me man st00pid. Me only think fuck. Men want fuck."

It's not like that at all.

 

I was just messing with you.

 

Of course it does. The thing with the divorce rate is that so many people get married without having enough experience with the person to know if they're really in love.

i think after you've been through nearly everything with the person you'll know for sure if you really love them or not.

 

I'd like to think I've found it.

 

Damn, this thread growed!!!

 

you speak the truth.

 

it exits, and it's hard, and it can hurt really badly, but it's real.

 

wWell i i belive in love. I had some really shity moments with my boy, many, many times i thought that i did not love him. Many time he irritated me, but after a night spend without him..you know i just cant sleep when he is not next to me! I call him in the middle of the night and he comes to me and i love him. I really deeply do, no matter how big idiot he is, i dont think i can be without him. He is my first man u know and i dont think anyone else will be so close to my heart as he is.

 

first off, I will admit that I only read the first & last page of this thread.

this is a bit of a pet peeve for me.

here are some definitions of romantic:
fanciful; impractical; unrealistic: romantic ideas.
imaginary, fictitious, or fabulous.

basically, 'romantic' implies fantasy, and if you want or expect romance in a relationship you will probably be quite disappointed.

back in the day, before divorce rates soared, people weren't so obsessed with romance, instead they would base their relationship on a range of other virtues that would help them forge a solid relationship more similar to friendship than romance.

so yeah. romance is bullshit. to be 'in love' is just your brain trying to get you to have kids, and I will repeat my belief that anyone who expects or hopes for, or even worse; demands, romance, are going to have a very turbulent relationship, where you are only loved if you love your partner in return.

don't get me wrong - of course it is great to surprise your partner and do typically romantic stuff for them, but do those things because you love them and want them to be happy, not because you want your partner to do those same things for you.
