Depends on your definition PhotoJim Send a noteboard - 30/11/2009 04:34:51 PM
I've loved my wife for more than 20 years. Have I been 'in love' with her that entire time? I don't know. Sometimes we get caught up in the day to day business of living. At other times, there is nothing better than huddling together for warmth, watching the sun come up together. Occasionally, I don't like her very much. And sometimes she is my only reason for being.

I think she'd really have to work at it for awhile before I wouldn't love her anymore. But there are no guarantees in this world. I suppose there are some unforgivable actions I can think of that may alter my opinion. Oddly enough, none of my list of unforgivable transgressions involved marital infidelity. (Well, one of them, but only indirectly. ) (*edit* - rereading this makes it sound like I'm planning on anything happening to my relationship with my wife. I'm not, but you don't want to take anything for granted.)

Do you have any long term friends or family that you can say that you love with very few conditions? While not a romantic love, it is a source of strength to have a pillar of love you can lean on in tough times. Even these long standing pillars need buttressing every now and then.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!

Not to be rude but who are you? And I suppose equally important, where are we?

It is normal to both fall in love and out of love. - 30/11/2009 03:58:40 PM 605 Views
the ebb and flow of society. Sometimes you're on top and sometimes you're not. *NM* - 30/11/2009 04:11:40 PM 330 Views
and sometimes you switch *NM* - 30/11/2009 04:20:48 PM 273 Views
And sometimes switching frequently helps you stay in love *NM* - 30/11/2009 06:36:53 PM 350 Views
it at least keeps things interesting *NM* - 30/11/2009 07:19:32 PM 291 Views
Let me tell you, ladies... after 10 years even switching gets predictable. *NM* - 01/12/2009 12:42:00 AM 332 Views

Love is just a means to finding a suiteble partner for breeding purposes. - 30/11/2009 07:56:11 PM 523 Views
but what about love between those who have no desire to breed? - 30/11/2009 08:05:00 PM 632 Views
Even if they don't want or can breed subconciosly love is still the same thing. *NM* - 30/11/2009 08:21:03 PM 330 Views
*shrug* I disagree with you. - 30/11/2009 08:27:48 PM 607 Views
