How do you know when you REALLY love someone?

[Megalomaniac]

When I completely threw caution to the wind and stopped trying to hide everything I felt. When I stopped making choices meant to keep myself from getting hurt and started making choices based on the realization that I'd rather lose everything but know I gave it 100% than miss out because I was a chickenshit with my heart. Just happened once and things didn't work out obviously, but I don't regret it for a second.

Lotta cynics in this thread...lol

I understand what you are saying but for a minute sit back and play the advocate on what you wrote. Everything in there is about you making a decision in your own mind. All those things could be brain washed into your mind using the right techniques so I have to honestly say that isn't LOVE, merely decisions to change you change the way you behave.

I am enjoying learning what love is with my Old Grump. Check back in 20 years or so and if we haven't killed each other, I am certain we will be able to enlighten you.

Till then it is all about LIKE and LUST.

Get your tissue, and your, waaaah factor because I'm about to share my soul. I'm adopted and have alot of abandonment issues. Stupid, but true. Biteme alleviated all that. 40 years of that. He loves me like your parents are supposed to.

On my fucking nerves? Hell yes; we fight every day and it's a good thing we live in the country because someone other than Texas folks would call the law!
