Thread: Have You Ever Been in Love?

I was, but things didn't work out. I think about her from time to time, but I try to look ahead.

I've only been in love once. I didn't notice it at the time though. I took her for granted almost the entire duration of our relationship. She bought me a lot of things, I filled her "needs" most of the day. We even talked about getting married. I had a ring picked out and everything. My mom loved her to death and told me that I was a lucky person to have her. I didn't know it at the time though.

I wasn't sober very much of our relationship (It wasn't drinking). I was making my money by selling "things". I was once one of the top "salesman" in town. I've never been caught for it, even though I was dealing with some pretty important people.

After a while I found myself to be more aggressive about stupid things. I didn't yell or hit her, I was more of the mind warp guy. I played tricks on her mind to bend her to my will.

Then she got pregnant. After that my aggressiveness was turning into defensiveness. To this day I'm not entirely sure why. I was an addict at the time. I think in the back of my head I knew that I wasn't suited to care for a child. to be a father for that matter. After a while, when she was half-way through her pregnancy, we split up. During the relationship we had our fights that ended in "Fine, we'll break up then!", we just never actually broke up though. This time was different, we broke up for good. I started to miss her and finally realized that I did indeed love her. I started to clean up myself. I quit everything and started to work on my schooling and getting a job.

I still don't have my high school. I'm still saving up for college (I don't need my GED for my goal-college, I aced my entrance exam). I'm still clean.

She still comes by to check in every once in a while. She doesn't bring the baby though. She says that the baby's father is unknown, that she cheated on me in the week of conception. I don't believe her. The baby has my nose, and my chin.

We sometimes catch each others eyes in conversations of old times. Sometimes, I can see her thinking what it would be like to get back together again. Since then, I've become a different person. I'm calmer, more composed. I'm more trusting, and I like to plan things out more. I've lost a fair bit of my social skills. I don't talk very much anymore and I smoke a LOT more than I sued to. I still know I won't be a very good father, and that's why I don't pursue another relationship with her. I think of her a lot.

One day, after I graduate college and own my own house, have a good sized savings account, I might try to start another relationship with her. Until then, I'll just keep working and hope for the best.


That's my story on love.


For the record, she's going out with a total dick now. He's very anal, and very controlling. He doesn't like kids, and his friends keep tabs on her for him. She's only with him now for the money for the child. She does like him, so don't say she's a gold digger or anything, and he does like her. He's just a dick.

I guess at the time, I thought I was. The first, was in high school, we dated for about 2 years, and we shared feelings that were quite strong. But whether they were love, well that's hard to decide. From there I kind of never felt love. A lot of lust, cause I always had trouble getting close to a person, afraid I would get burned (been hurt pretty bad before). I met a girl at my last base, and was pretty sure I was in love with her, and we learned a lot about each other, told each other things, we really don't share with most people. Then when I left to go to a new base, it took 3 days for her to stop talking to me. Some love

Yeah, and both times it didn't work out. Being in love != love itself, it's more of a physical illness.... such a wonderful physical illness when you can be with that person and so very bad when they leave you :|

Once and still with her haha

Im sure it depends on the individual and what is interpreted as love. I am in love and i know for sure that i am because of the way i think about my significant other. There's many things i do for her that shows her i love her,not just to prove to her but because i enjoy doing it. I take care of her in every possible way,it is my mission in life to keep her happy and to ensure she has a good life with me. I could go on and on but im sure you will know for yourself what love really is.

I am in love with my wife. Been married for 7 and half years. Been together for almost 10 years. Known each other for about 13 years. I had a crush on her for quiet a while but she had a boyfriend. That didn't stop me from chasing her.

I used to whore around quiet a bit but even from the beginning before her and I got together, it was always different with her. I think I was in love with her long before we got together.

We worked together and she quit and we went almost two years without seeing each other. During that time, I still thought about her from time to time.

Then one day a friend of mine told me he seen her at a store working. She had just started working there. I pretty much dropped what I was doing and went there to see her. Her and her boyfriend were living together but she was in the process of moving out and breaking up with him. Well, 10 years later, here we are.

Personally i think the whole love thing is retarded I've been there twice and its good while it lasts but it kills when its over get so depressed and mad and just...... ughhh well its no fun when break ups happen Honestly I'd be much happier on my own... BUT love has got my balls in a vicegrip "figuratively speaking" i guess alls im trying to say is that it have its pros and cons and for those of you who find real love in your life *God Bless You* you are so lucky don't let it slip through your fingers.

Been their done that twice !!
Got dumped the first time, second was a jovial ride and pretty much learnt about relationships with the second girl, i owe a lot to her sensible thinking - but there were caste problems and I knew it wasnt meant to be so, had a mutual breakup. It was the saddest day of my life.

Now, planning to get married in a couple of years- to someone else
