    Loss and dealing with loss are a part of life. These things have made me a stronger person. I think loss, especially of a failed relationship, makes you appreciate it when a better one comes along. There's nothing like being treated bad to make you know what being treated good is.

    Cool, my first post.

    I agree that it's better to know love and lose it than never have that memory in the first place. However, to love someone for the sake of love alone can be a messy business. In my experience I have learnt that I can truly love certain people, yet I totally despise their actions.

    Just because you love someone, that does not necessarily mean you have to like them.

    It took me a long time (very recent) that I stopped subconsciously believing that love needs a partner commitment.

    This was obviously a remnant of jw teaching.......

    After two long term relationships I wondered if I was really cut out for love. In the last six months I put a lot of time in to challenging my moral stance.

    I have had a number of loving experiences with women I have called friends for years. That may sound like it was just sex, it's not. It takes a lot of communication and honesty and is truly living in the moment. Who knows what the future holds for all of us?? Why hold back from creating as much love as possible in our and others lives??

    I always remember a childhood song by Hal David and Burt Bacharach (sorry Burt r.e.spelling)

    What the World Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love

    We only have one life and it passes oh so quickly.

    I think some people anylse too much the workings of love. Therefore add pressure to the wacky formula and lose the lot.

    Love is different for everyone.

    I do agree.

    If anything goes wrong in my relationship with hubby, I'll try to remember all the great times we spent together in the many years we've had. It'll hurt, but I won't regret it one bit. Life's been great with him!
