Maybe some other stuff too but right now that is my answer until someone smarter comes along with one of those long to the point answers with 50 points to it that all make sense.

I believe that Love is a choice to protect and care, an action that is yours, not based on the actions of the other person.

Dr. Harley says the feeling of Love is a conditioned response to positive stimuli.

And there's always the original definition....
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

I figured it out.

Love is when your spouse cooks something really yucky and you eat it and tell them it was great. Then wash the dishes to boot.

Ok Rin just thinking about it is making me cry.

Love for me is being understanding,forgiving,thoughtful being able to be yourself and knowing that its safe.

And when you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and your butt get wet because the set was left up and you don't go back in the bedroom and put your wet butt on them. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ok i'm a little twisted today

HA!! I like this one!! My H used to do this before we were married. The worst thing he's ever said about my cooking was "The bacon was a little crisper than I usually make it....". (It was TORCHED and BLACK, you had to dig through the ashes to even find any bacon). He ate it anyway. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Marflow------LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO...That is great! I am not one to argue over the sit being left up or down...

AmI-Oh, sweetie...that is great...I love that one...

i can relate with MF but not with you...not b/c I haven't burnt the bacon...but b/c I usually heard negative stuff, very seldom good stuff...he could care less about what the menu was...I got to the point where I hated cooking b/c I just didn't know if he liked it or not...

Of course, I would ask but I all I got was it was fine.

Oh, the two of you are some real cards!

Mar,

That is good but a little off base. I think real love would be thanking them for the heiney wash.

Frog-LMAO...I think you might be as twisted as I am.

Ami-I can understand what you saying no matter what I cooked WH always told how good it was...one time he did make the mistake of asking me why my spaghetti sauce wasn't as good as my older sisters...he still hasn't lived that one down.

One thing I never brought up on that thread was the BS excuse he called OW because he had a good relationship with her son.

Thia was not my excuse this was his excuse for calling...I could care less what kind of relationship he had with his kid...it was still wrong, he knew it and did it anyway...

If you're going to treat another child better than your own, I belive that you have some major issues...

NC means, NC...it was all excuses to get whatever he wanted, to justify his behavior...

Hey you caught that. That was what I was talking about. LOL

He said that. I meant WS. LOL. Geez see my whole point was him not walking the walk but I talked about how I make mistakes because I get sidetracked and guess what I put BS not WS LOL.

Let me go fix that.

SB,

I know what you are saying. I am personally seeing something that may be a payoff.

We shall see.

Fell on my butt and bruised it and I am having a hard time sitting down. LOL

Strivn,

Ummmm.....Real love is owning a great music cd collection! Plays beautiful & all the exclusive, elusive good things you wanna hear. Just acceptance, no hassles, hormonally balanced, no foo issues, compact too.

Not labor intensive, that's a biggy for me, compared to dealin with nasty ws.

Best of all music cd's don't bite ya! Grufffff!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
